Several foreign countries, including Canada, have invested in Cuba during the more than 50 years since the U.S. froze relations and imposed an economic embargo

. Obama relaxed the embargo and began normalizing relations with Cuba, but Trump has rolled that back.

Title III allows Americans to use their courts to sue foreign entities who may have “trafficked” in property confiscated by the communist Castro regime after it overthrew Cuba’s U.S.-backed government in 1959.“It could affect any company which has any, any relationship with Cuba,” said Agnew. Josefina Vida, Cuba’s ambassador to Canada, said she has been urging Canada to push back against Trump, warning that the latest escalation is making it difficult to attract much-needed Canadian investment to her country.

In 1996, Canada, the European Union and Mexico reacted “in a very strong way” to Title III, which helped encourage then-president Bill Clinton to postpone it, she said.
