<p>Washington, June 4 (Prensa Latina) <br>
</p>
<p>The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed major new
travel restrictions on visits to Cuba by US citizens,
including a ban on educational and cultural trips known as
''people-to-people'' travel, as well as a ban on cruise
trips to the island nation.

The US Treasury Department said it would also deny
permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats
to fly or sail to the neighboring island. However,
commercial airline flights appear to be unaffected and
travel for university groups, academic research,
journalism and professional meetings will continue to be
allowed.</p>
<p> The Treasury Department released in a statement that
its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) submitted
some amendments to the Cuban Assets Control Regulation
(CACR) to implement the Trump´s policy, whose
administration has been marked by growing hostility
against Cuba.</p>
<p> The new US restrictions, which will take effect on
Wednesday, answer to announcements made on April 17 by
National Security Adviser John Bolton in an aggressive
speech in Florida, by announcing that new restrictions
were going to be implemented to non-family trips to
Cuba.</p>
<p> Such measures pay no mind to demands of many US
sectors which fight to eliminate travel restrictions to
Cuba, a nation to which US citizens are barred from
visiting as tourists.</p>
<p> Furthermore, while Trump´s administration holds a
discourse about allegedly supporting the Cuban people on
the island, the new bans however will have a negative
impact on Cuba, mainly in the private sector.</p>
