Treasury Eases Cuba Restrictions
--------------------------------



The Treasury Department has enacted President Obama’s directive to ease
certain restrictions on dealings with Cuba. The new rules allow for
unlimited travel and money transfers by Cuban Americans to their family
members in Cuba and free up telecommunications directed there. The Obama
administration announced the eased restrictions in April but has refused
calls to fully repeal the forty-seven-year-old embargo.
