President Donald Trump put the Cuban regime back in the spotlight Friday with the signing of a presidential action that broadened U.S. sanctions on the communist government.

The latest action against the Caribbean nation comes after successful military operations in Venezuela and Iran, as Trump and other administration officials have hinted for months at potential U.S. intervention in Cuba.
