US Frees Up Some Cuban Assets

US-Treasury-Dept.HAVANA TIMES — In a further sign of improving relations between the governments of Barack Obama and Raul Castro, the US Treasury Dept. announced on Thursday the removal of 65 Cuban individuals and state companies from a sanctions list dating back to the Clinton years for supposed ties with drug trafficking. Eleven Colombians were also taken off the list.

The lifting of the sanctions frees up frozen assets on US soil.

Cuba was also, at the end of May, taken off the US State Department list of countries that sponsor terrorism.

The two former enemies are heading towards a reopening of embassies in the respective capitals in the near future.

Below is the list issued by the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
