Cuba’s government has denounced US President Donald Trump’s decision to roll back on policy changes towards the island nation.<\/p>\n
However, it says it will still co-operate with its larger neighbour.<\/p>\n
Speaking earlier in Miami, Florida, Mr Trump said he was reimposing certain travel and trade restrictions eased by the Obama administration, condemning a “completely one-sided deal”.<\/p>\n
But he is not reversing key diplomatic and commercial ties.<\/p>\n
“The government of Cuba denounces the new measures toughening the embargo,” Cuban state TV said.<\/p>\n
But it also reiterated “its willingness to continue the respectful dialogue and cooperation”.<\/p>\n
Barack Obama attempted to thaw relations by loosening trade and tourism bans.<\/p>\n
President Trump says his new policy will tighten rules on travel and on sending funds to Cuba.<\/p>\n
