Ua hoʻolaha aku ke Aupuni ʻAmelika i nā mea paʻa hou i ka huakaʻi i Cuba e nā kamaʻāina o ʻAmelika, me ka pāpā ʻana i ka hapa nui o nā huakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao a me nā ʻoliʻoli.

Ua ʻōlelo ke Keʻena Waihona i loko o kahi ʻōlelo ʻaʻole e ʻae hou ka US i nā huakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao a me nā moʻomeheu i kapa ʻia ʻo "people-to-people" e hele i ka mokupuni. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kēlā mau huakaʻi e nā tausani o ʻAmelika e kipa aku i ka mokupuni.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Treasury e hōʻole ʻo ia i ka ʻae ʻana no nā mokulele pilikino a hui pū kekahi a me nā moku. Eia nō naʻe, ʻike ʻia nā huakaʻi mokulele mokulele ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia a e ʻae ʻia ka huakaʻi no nā hui kulanui, e ʻae ʻia ka noiʻi kula, ka nūpepa a me nā hālāwai ʻoihana.

ʻO ka hopena o ka huakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao hui e hoʻopilikia nui i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika ma ka mokupuni, ka mea i haʻalele ma hope o ka neʻe ʻana o Pelekikena Barack Obama e hōʻoluʻolu i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke aupuni Cuban i ka makahiki 2014.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kākau'ōlelo kālā ʻo Steven Mnuchin, he pane ia i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Cuba "destabilizing role" i ka Western Hemisphere, me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ke aupuni o Pelekikena Nicolas Maduro ma Venezuela. Hoʻomaopopo ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina Komohana i ke alakaʻi kūʻē kūʻē Venezuela ʻo Juan Guaido ma ke ʻano he pelekikena kūpono o ka ʻāina, ʻoiai ʻo nā ʻāina me Cuba, Russia, Kina a me Turkey e hoʻomau i ke kākoʻo iā Maduro.

"Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Cuba i kahi hana destabilizing ma ka Hemisphere Komohana, e hāʻawi ana i kahi kahua komunista ma ka ʻāina a me ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā ʻenemi US ma nā wahi e like me Venezuela a me Nicaragua ma o ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka instability, ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ke kānāwai, a me ke kāohi ʻana i nā kaʻina democratic," wahi a Mnuchin. "Ua hoʻoholo kēia alakaʻi i ka hoʻoholo hoʻoholo e hoʻohuli i ka wehe ʻana o nā hoʻopaʻi a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka noho aupuni Cuban. E kōkua ana kēia mau hana i ka mālama ʻana i nā kālā ʻAmelika mai ka lima o ka pūʻali koa Cuban, naʻauao a me nā lawelawe palekana.

Ua nānā mua ʻia nā palena hou e ke kākāʻōlelo palekana aupuni ʻo John Bolton i kahi haʻiʻōlelo ʻApelila ma Miami i nā poʻe koa kahiko o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Bay of Pigs i ka makahiki 1961 akā ʻaʻole i hoʻolaha ʻia nā kikoʻī o nā loli a hiki i kēia manawa. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Treasury e hoʻokō ʻia nā hoʻopaʻi i kēia lā ma hope o ka paʻi ʻia ʻana ma ka Federal Register.

Ma hope o ka noho ʻana o Pelekikena Donald Trump i ke keʻena ma Ianuali 2017 me ka hoʻohiki ʻana e hoʻohuli i ka hau o Obama me Cuba, ua pāpā ʻo ia i nā kipa pākahi a, ma ke ʻano o nā neʻe, ua kaupalena ʻia nā pilina kalepa me ka ʻāina.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

“Cuba continues to play a destabilizing role in the Western Hemisphere, providing a communist foothold in the region and propping up US adversaries in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua by fomenting instability, undermining the rule of law, and suppressing democratic processes,”.
ʻO ka hopena o ka huakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao hui e hoʻopilikia nui i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika ma ka mokupuni, ka mea i haʻalele ma hope o ka neʻe ʻana o Pelekikena Barack Obama e hōʻoluʻolu i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke aupuni Cuban i ka makahiki 2014.
The new restrictions had been previewed by national security adviser John Bolton in an April speech in Miami to veterans of the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion but details of the changes were not made public until now.
