The US forces the cancellation of trips by Cuban emigration from Europe: did you hear the protests?
This section discusses the cancellation of trips by Cuban emigrants from Europe due to new visa requirements imposed by the US government.
New Visa Requirements for Travel to the US

Lack of Protests in European Press

- Media outlets that support Washington's sanctions policy against Havana have not defended Cuban emigration or published interviews with affected individuals.
Impact on Cubans Residing Abroad

- Some individuals who had planned and paid for trips to the US received emails informing them that their ESTA permits were revoked, forcing them to start the visa application process at a consulate.
Media Submission and Lack of Convictions
