The Supreme Court on Feb. 23 grappled with two cases about U.S. business assets that Cuba’s communist government seized decades ago.

The cases are Havana Docks Corp. v. Royal Caribbean Cruises and Exxon Mobil v. Corporacion Cimex, which the justices heard back-to-back in more than three hours of oral arguments.
