GAESA is not just a company. It is a vast corrupt network that controls hotels, stores, the real estate sector, transportation, finance, and other areas of the regime. Foreign companies that wish to invest in Cuba must partner with a Cuban state-owned company, which makes them accomplices in the dictatorship's corruption scheme. For this reason, the Trump Administration has imposed secondary sanctions on all companies that maintain commercial relations with GAESA.

GAESA no es solo una empresa. Se trata de una amplia red corrupta que controla hoteles, tiendas, sector inmobiliario, transporte, finanzas y otros ámbitos del régimen. Las empresas extranjeras que deseen invertir en Cuba deben contar con una empresa estatal cubana como socio, lo que las convierte en cómplices del esquema de corrupción de la dictadura. Por este motivo, la Administración Trump ha impuesto sanciones secundarias a todas las empresas que mantengan relaciones comerciales con GAESA.
