Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against Cuba’s state-owned Union Cuba-Petroleo gas and oil company on Thursday as the Trump administration continues its pressure on the communist island nation. 

​The sanctions block all property and interests in property between the United States and Union Cuba-Petroleo, and all dealings must be reported to the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
