The Trump administration is considering imposing new restrictions on Cuban officials travelling to the United Nations, according to ABC News US. The possible restrictions would target travel by Cuban officials connected with the United Nations. The report describes the proposal as another step intended to squeeze the government in Havana.
The supplied material does not say whether the administration has made a final decision, which officials would be affected, or what form the restrictions would take. It also provides no details about the legal authority for the proposed measure, the timing of any announcement, or the response from Cuba or the United Nations. The plan, as described, would add to pressure on the Cuban government by limiting or controlling the ability of its officials to travel to the UN.
For now, however, the measure remains under consideration rather than an announced policy.
