In a move that cuts to the heart of sovereign power and its limits, the United States has sanctioned Cuba's sitting president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, along with four figures embedded in the island's ruling networks — including a son of Raúl Castro. The action, flowing from a Trump executive order, continues a long American tradition of using economic isolation as a form of statecraft against governments it deems authoritarian. Whether such pressure bends history or merely hardens it remains, as ever, the open question.
