    Trump administration again suspends a part of Cuba embargo

    WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is suspending for another six
    months a provision of the U.S. embargo on Cuba.

    The State Department says it has told Congress that it will keep
    suspending a provision of the Helms-Burton Act that deals with property
    seized from Americans. The provision lets Americans use U.S. courts to
    sue non-American companies that operate and deal with property
    confiscated after Fidel Castro's revolution.

    It's the latest sign that President Donald Trump is not fully reversing President Barack Obama's opening of relations with Cuba. Last month
    Trump announced he was rolling back some changes, but he left others in
    place.

    The law has been in place since 1996. Recent U.S. presidents have
    repeatedly suspended the lawsuit provision for six months at a time.
