President Joe Biden said sanctions his administration leveled on the chief of Cuba’s military and its interior ministry on Thursday are only the start of U.S. retaliation for Havana’s crackdown against protesters.
“I unequivocally condemn the mass detentions and sham trials that are unjustly sentencing to prison those who dared to speak out in an effort to intimidate and threaten the Cuban people into silence,” Biden said in a statement.
