and its target, cuba. the trump administration has announced new measures aimed at drying up the flow of cash to cuba. washington says it will limit the amount of money that families can send to relatives in cuba as well as curbing travel to the country by u.s. citizens. the restrictions come a day after the white house did a long-standing ban all lawsuits by foreign companies who use property, skated by cuba -- confiscated by cuba following ththe 1 1959 communist t revolu. cuba's president said no one will be allowed to take the islandnd away from thehe cuban people. reporter: t the new u.s.. restrictions on cuba are said to effectively keep foreign investors out of the communist country. sec. pompeo: today we are holding the government accountable for seizing american assets. and we are advancing human rights and democracy on behalf of the cuban people. reporter: the cuban people are already struggling with a range of econonomic and social proble. the country desperately needs foreign cucurrency to papay

i think that's what this decision on cuba reflects. sometimes regimes that look alike are treated differently because in the constellation of american interests, our relationship with them and the circumstances we face is different. and i don't think we need to make any apologies for that. not this administration or other administrations. >> you don't see a concern of hypocrisy when it comes to we've turned the other way on human rights when it comes to jamal khashoggi and what happened in saudi arabia, but we're going to hold the cuban regime accountable? >> i don't think it's hypocrisy to treat different circumstances differently. i think you need to read your edmund burke on that point. with respect to saudi arabia, i think the president has been very clear that he expects a full accounting for what happened in the khashoggi murder and he expects those responsible to be held accountable for it. so i don't see what the issue is. >> we want to hold -- in this new cuba policy, we want to hold other countries that essentially do busines

economic embargo on cuba.s lawsuits to be filed against foreign companies doing business in properties that were seized from americans by the cuban government since the revolution in 1959. this mostly affects european companies operating hotels, factories, distilleries and other properties inside cuba. but every u.s. president since bill clinton waived that section of the law to avoid clashes with america's allies. now president trump is lifting the waiver and allowing the lawsuits to proceed. that is sparking considerable protest with some key allies with business ties to cuba including canada, france, spain and great britain. cuba says it's willing to reimburse the owners of confiscated properties but only if the united states reimburses cuba for billions of damages inflicted upon its economy of the six-year decade embargo. but this that could kill foreign investment in cuba comes at a vulnerable time for that economy. it's struggling to find enough cash for food and supplies following a drop in aid it got f

how much support is cuba giving to venezuela? is how much support is cuba giving to venezuela ? it likely that it might roll back on that? in a sense it's venezuela giving support to cuba. it's the support that comes in terms of the oil, very preferential rates paid for by doctors and teachers and intelligence services to venezuela. that deal is in trouble, i would say. just given given how difficult the situation is in venezuela. for the time being, it is limping along. fidel castro somewhere in the region of 100,000 barrels of oil a day in exchange for the doctors, we know that is not happening, it is somewhat reduced. the relationship is under strain. happening, it is somewhat reduced. the relationship is under strainm there any way that cuba can mitigate any of the impacts? we've seen for example, the european union come out, canada come out, all opposing a step that was taken simultaneously taken by the state department secretary of state mike pompeo cold total three of the helms burton act, what that means is that americans who have property seized and expropriated by fide

sugar plantation owners in cuba. but the second were the eastern europeans and others, such as middle easterners, who came to cuba as a temporary destination in order to evade u.s. quota laws. and this category the u.s. viewed as a threat to effective enforcement of its own immigration policies. however, a close reading of diplomatic discussions and negotiations suggests that cuba and other smaller latin american nations did not wholeheartedly support u.s. interests, even as they were under u.s. economic and political influence. it wasn't until much later in the mid to late 1930s thatcuba's long-standing position as an immigrant receiving and immigrant welcoming nation changed. and this was due to, you know, continued u.s. pressure but also development in the sugar industry in cuba, the global depression of the 1930s, and related nativist and nationalist labor movements that led to more restrictive immigration policies across latin america and the caribbean. a harrowing result of some of these policies took place in

measures would effectively keep foreign investors and their money out of cuba. but the communist ruled caribbean island is already struggling with a range of economic and social problems the crisis in its ally venezuela spilling over every day supplies are becoming scarce or supermarket shelves are empty long lines form for a little chicken eggs or cooking oil. shortages in the whole country there are problems we hope the situation will recover you can see that there are more eggs and things but yes there have been a lot of problems that's why they're all aryans that's the first sign. adding to cuba's troubles oil deliveries from venezuela have fallen by half they could fall even further or cease altogether if it is a will a self-proclaimed interim president one who i don't know and his allies in washington get their way. in a speech to the national assembly last week cuban communist party leader raul castro warn the country to prepare for the worst while reaffirming cuba's support for venezuela. we will never abandon our duty to act in solidarity with venezuela
