WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 31st July, 2021) US President Joe Biden during remarks at the White House said the United States will continue to impose sanctions on individuals in Cuba over alleged abuses.
"We're going to continue to add sanctions on individuals that carry out their regime's abuses," Biden said on Friday.
US State Secretary Antony Blinken confirmed that Washington will impose sanctions on the entities and individuals that will supply the Cuban police to "promote accountability for the Cuban government's human rights abuses.
"
"We are making it clear that anyone who supplies Cuba's brutal police force, the Special National Brigade, the Interior Ministry, or any other Cuban individuals or entities designated under the Global Magnitsky program may face sanctions risk of their own," he said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on Cuban National Revolutionary Police and the head of the force in its latest round of sanctions against the island nation.
