EU, CANADA VOW TO PROTECT THEIR FIRMS IN CUBA
HAVANA, CUBA & WASHINGTON DC, USA | 17 APRIL 2019

The European Union and Canada are joining forces to protect their companies after the U.S opened the door for lawsuits against foreign firms operating on properties Cuba seized from Americans.

The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it will allow lawsuits against foreign firms doing business in properties seized from Americans after Cuba's 1959 revolution.

The decision is a blow to Havana's efforts to draw foreign investment to the island.
