The United States increased pressure on Cuba by further restricting travel to the island nation and decreasing the potential for educational interaction between Americans and Cubans. According to the Federal Register, “[t]he Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) removed an authorization for group people-to-people educational travel and provides a ’grandfathering’ provision to authorize certain group people-to-people educational travel that previously was authorized where the traveler has already completed at least one travel-related transaction (such as purchasing a flight or reserving accommodation) prior to June 5, 2019.”
