The U.S. Treasury Department and the Department of Commerce amended the Cuban Assets Control Regulations ("CACR") and the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR").

The amendments restrict the ability of U.S. persons to travel to Cuba, thereby "channe[ling] economic activities away from the Cuban military, intelligence and security services." In particular, the CACR and EAR amendments (i) remove authorization for "group people-to-people education travel," with certain exceptions, and (ii) generally prohibit U.S. passenger and recreational vessels, and private and corporate aircraft from traveling to Cuba.

The amendments further President Trump's June 16, 2017 National Security Presidential Memorandum, titled "Strengthening the Policy of the United States toward Cuba."
