"The government of Cuba exploits and forces to work, earning money on its citizens participating in the program of medical missions abroad," - said the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

To respond to this harassment, the State Department imposed visa restrictions on some Cuban officials, he added.

According to the Secretary of State, the Cuban authorities are forcing workers to “work long hours”, live in unsafe areas and promote a “political regime program”.

On June 4, the United States tightened sanctions against Cuba - banned group trips to this country, as well as the export of cars and airplanes.
