DOMINANT ANGLE
Extraterritorial sanctions that threaten non-US companies and banks too
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
National Post, CBC and Globe and Mail emphasize the unprecedented scale of the new sanctions and their extraterritorial reach threatening Canadian companies operating in Cuba. Ottawa historically maintains commercial relations with Cuba that Washington seeks to block. The new measures authorize the US Treasury to sanction non-US entities — including potentially Canadian banks — for doing business with Cuba. For Ottawa, which maintains diplomatic and commercial relations with Havana unlike Washington, the new sanctions pose a direct legal problem.
