The United States doubled down on its tough stance and sanctions on Cuba after historic protests in the Communist-run island last month and said it would seek to support protesters.

While the fresh sanctions are largely symbolic, they suggest a return to a period of detente under former President Barack Obama is not forthcoming.

These regional divisions came to the fore last week when the Organization of American States had to postpone a meeting on the human rights situation in Cuba due to objections by more than a dozen member states. He had sent a letter on behalf of 13 countries from the Caribbean Community or CARICOM - which though small, represents a significant voting block in the OAS - urging the body to reconsider the "unproductive" meeting, while other countries sent similar missives.Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said last month the OAS should be replaced "by a body that is truly autonomous, not anybody’s lackey", sentiments echoed by Argentinian President Alberto Fernandez.

The Chair of the OAS Permanent Council described the objections to the Cuba meeting as particularly unusual. William LeoGrande, a professor of government at American University in Washington, said the problem was the OAS had under Secretary-General Luis Almagro "adopted a strident partisan stance totally aligned with U.S. policy".
