President Donald Trump has ordered tighter restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba and a clampdown on US business dealings with the Caribbean island's military, saying he was canceling former President Barack Obama's terrible and misguided deal with Havana.<br/>Trump's revised approach calls for stricter enforcement of a longtime ban on Americans going to Cuba as tourists, and seeks to prevent US dollars from being used to fund what the Trump administration sees as a repressive military-dominated government. But, facing pressure from US businesses and even some fellow Republicans to avoid turning back the clock completely in relations with Cuba, the president chose to leave intact some of his Democratic predecessor's steps toward normalization.<br/>Cuba's government has criticised new restrictions on ties with the United States that were announced by President Donald Trump, but reiterated its willingness to hold respectful dialogue with Washington.<br/>According to a statement read on state television yesterday, the government of Cuba denounces the new measures toughening the embargo imposed on the island nation since 1962. However, Havana reiterates its willingness to continue the respectful dialogue and cooperation that has taken place with Washington since 2015 when the drive for restored ties began under then president Barack Obama.
