The Trump administration is imposing major new travel restrictions on visits to Cuba by U.S. citizens, including a ban on many forms of educational and recreational travel.

A Treasury Department statement Tuesday said the U.S. will no longer allow the group educational and cultural trips known as "people to people" travel to the island.

Those "people to people" trips have been used by thousands of American citizens to visit the island even before the U.S. restored formal relations with the communist government in December 2014.

The Treasury Department said it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats.

The administration said the measures are a response to what it calls Cuba’s “destabilizing role” in the Western Hemisphere, including support for the government of President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.

3. It's all about keeping Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fl) happy and in line

"The administration said the measures are a response to what it calls Cuba’s 'destabilizing role' in the Western Hemisphere, including support for the government of President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela."

No, these measures were only intended to satisfy Rubio's implacable Cuban and Venezuelan political donors and supporters in Miami. The most "destabilizing" force in the Caribbean, Central and South America for more than a century has been U.S. foreign policy.
