CBS News reported that Cuba faces growing economic isolation due to new sanctions imposed by the United States.
The sanctions come amid decades of a U.S. trade embargo and Cuba's communist governance.
According to CBS News, the Trump administration stated that the new sanctions aim to target Cuba's corrupt regime.
As a result, many basic goods in Cuba have become luxuries, reflecting the increased economic pressure on the country.
