Envioscuba.com halts new orders as U.S. sanctions pressure Cuba

An online platform widely used by Cubans in the United States to send money, food and clothing to relatives in Cuba has stopped taking orders as the Trump administration steps up pressure on Havana. Envioscuba.com said it is ceasing to accept new orders after successive rounds of U.S. sanctions aimed at cutting off international support for Cuban businesses. The latest measures target Cuba’s state-owned oil and gas company, President Miguel Diaz-Canel and the military-run business conglomerate GAESA, according to the Associated Press.
