Meanwhile, Americans will no longer be able to fly to Cuba alone. Most US citizens travelling to the island of Cuba will now have to go as part of organized tour groups, a partial rollback of former-president Barack Obama’s policy of engagement with Cuba. The rules come on the heels of a presidential memorandum that Donald Trump signed in June, in which he pledged to stiffen U.S. policies toward Cuba that had been relaxed by the Obama administration.
