Communist Cuba says US "economic war" hurting - Yahoo! News: "HAVANA (Reuters) - The intensified U.S. 'economic war' on Cuba has meant more fines for Americans visiting the Communist-run island and foreign firms doing business there, a Cuban government report said on Tuesday.
Sanctions adopted by the Bush administration since June 2005 to speed change in Cuba by denying it funds included a ban on the purchase of Cuban cigars and rum by U.S. citizens, even in third countries, the report to the
United Nations said.
Pleasure craft owners leaving U.S ports for Cuban waters face fines of up to $25,000 or five years in jail, it said.
'The blockade on Cuba is an act of economic war,' the report said. Washington has enforced a trade embargo against Cuba since 1962, seeking to undermine the left-wing government of
Fidel Castro, in power since a 1959 revolution."
