U.S. suspends all charter flights to Cuba, except to capital, Havana
There will also be a cap on the number of charter flights permitted to fly to and from Havana, which the Department of Transportation will announce in the near future.
Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, slammed the Trump administration's move on Twitter, calling it a"serious violation of human rights and freedom of travel of US citizens and hinders family reunification.
Reps. Donna Shalala, D-Fla. and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla., who represent congressional districts with a large Cuban American population, criticized the move. Shalala tweeted that it was “the wrong solution to a difficult problem.” Mucarsel-Powell said in a statement that this creates another obstacle for Cuban Americans to see their loved ones.
“While I strongly support the use of every diplomatic tool possible to pressure the Cuban government to end their repression and influence in Venezuela, I strongly believe we should not do so by punishing the Cuban people and their U.S. relatives.”
