WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday he approved the re-creation of the Cuba Restricted List. The list prohibits certain transactions with companies under the control of, or acting for or on behalf of, the repressive Cuban military, intelligence, or security services or personnel, he said.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. would once again restrict financial transactions with many Cuban military- and government-linked entities, just weeks after the Biden administration had sought to roll those sanctions back.
