WASHINGTON, DC – Uhulumende weMelika usememezele imithetho emitsha, eqala ukusebenza ngoLwesihlanu, eyehlisela imingcele yokuya eCuba. Mhlawumbe okubaluleke kakhulu, izakhamizi zase-US zizokwazi ukuya eCuba ngaphandle kwelayisensi ekhethekile uma zihambele umhlangano wochwepheshe.
Ngemithetho emisha, abantu baseMelika bangavakashela eCuba ngaphandle kokuthola ilayisense ekhethekile kuhulumeni ngezizathu eziyi-12:
1. Ukuvakasha komndeni
2. Ibhizinisi elisemthethweni likahulumeni wase-US, ohulumeni bangaphandle, kanye nezinhlangano ezithile ezisebenzisana nohulumeni
3. Umsebenzi wezintatheli
4. Ucwaningo lochwepheshe kanye nemihlangano yobungcweti
5. Imisebenzi yezemfundo
6. Imisebenzi yezenkolo
7. Imidlalo yomphakathi, imitholampilo, izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi, imiqhudelwano yezemidlalo neminye, nemibukiso
8. Ukwesekwa kwabantu baseCuba
9. Amaphrojekthi wosizo lwabantu
10. Imisebenzi yezinhlangano ezizimele, ucwaningo, noma izikhungo zemfundo

12. Ukuthengiselana okuthile kokuthekelisa okungase kucatshangelwe ukuze kugunyazwe ngaphansi kwemithetho neziqondiso ezikhona
Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinkampani zokuhamba nezinkampani zezindiza manje sezizokwazi ukudayisa uhambo lwaseCuba ngaphandle kwelayisensi ethile kahulumeni. Ukwengeza, abahambi bazokwazi ukusebenzisa amakhadi esikweletu futhi basebenzise imali eCuba, futhi bangabuyisa kufikela ku-$400 wezikhumbuzo (kuhlanganise no-$100 wotshwala noma ugwayi).
Lesi sinyathelo silandela isinqumo ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule sokubuyisela ubudlelwano obugcwele bezokusebenzela neCuba kanye nokuvula ihhovisi lenxusa eHavana. Leso sinqumo sahoxisa umgomo weminyaka engu-50 wokuzihlukanisa nokuvinjelwa, futhi seza ngemva kwezinyanga zezingxoxo eziyimfihlo ezaziphethwe yiCanada futhi zakhuthazwa uPapa uFrancis.
Ngokwe-Orlando Sun-Sentinel, amabhizinisi amaningi aseNingizimu Florida “ahlakaza imibhalo emihle” yemithetho emisha, alangazelele ithuba lokukhulisa ibhizinisi nesiqhingi esingumakhelwane esinabantu abayizigidi ezingu-11. Kodwa leli phepha liphinde liphawule ukuthi kuzoba khona kokubili ubungozi kanye nezinzuzo njengoba izinkampani ezizinze e-US ziqala ukusebenza kule “makethe entsha eyinkimbinkimbi.” Uhulumeni waseCuba, kubikwa ukuthi akashongo lutho esidlangalaleni mayelana nokuthi uzolawula kanjani ukuhwebelana okusha ne-United States noma uzosingatha izicelo zamalungelo amaningi okuhlala ezindizeni.
