US To Tighten Sanctions on Cuban Military Over Support For Venezuela's Maduro - Bolton

The United States will impose additional financial restrictions on Cuba's military and intelligence services over Havana's alleged support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said in a Twitter statement on Monday

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 04th March, 2019) The United States will impose additional financial restrictions on Cuba's military and intelligence services over Havana's alleged support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said in a Twitter statement on Monday.

"Cuba's role in usurping democracy and fomenting repression in Venezuela is clear. That's why the US will continue to tighten financial restrictions on Cuba's military and intel services. The region's democracies should condemn the Cuba regime," Bolton said.

Last month, US President Donald Trump told the Venezuelan American community that Maduro was "controlled by the Cuban military and protected by a private army of Cuban soldiers." Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez refuted Trump's claims, saying that the Cuban government strongly and categorically rejects such allegations.
