U.S. tightens travel restrictions for Cuba - UPI
The United States is restricting travel to Cuba and how much money Americans can send to family members in the Caribbean nation, national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday.
The announcement, made at a Bay of Pigs Veterans Association event in Miami, is a reversal of President Barack Obama's attempts to loosen restrictions and normalize relations with Cuba.
Under the new policy, Americans may send up to $1,000 per person every three months. Under the Obama administration, remittances to Cuba were unlimited.
