Private charter flights between the U.S. and Cuba are being suspended, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced Thursday. It comes following a request from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said the move would deny economic resources to the Castro regime.

The move does not include authorized public charter flights to and from the Cuban capital of Havana, according to a statement by Pompeo Thursday. Authorized private emergency medical charters, search and rescue and other travel "deemed in the interest of the United States" will also be exempt.

"This Administration will continue to target and cut the revenue the Cuban government earns from landing fees, stays in regime-owned hotels, and other travel-related income," Pompeo said.

6. Perhaps that is all it is.

My immediate thought was Pompeo trying to push Cuba into Russia's arms. 🤬

I'm sure there is a negative effect on our country in some way.
