The Department of Transportation of the United States lifted restrictions on air travel to Cuba, which were imposed under former President Donald Trump. This was reported by RIA Novosti.

The department said as requested by the State Department, the ministry canceled previous measures that restricted certain types of air services between the US and Cuba.

The 2019-2020 restrictions applied to charter and scheduled flights between the United States and Cuba.

The US suspended flights to Cuba in October 2019, with the exception of Jose Marti Airport. They also restricted Cuban officials from entering the United States.

Besides, US authorities have lifted a number of restrictions on Cuba. Thus, restrictions on money transfers of $1,000 per quarter have been lifted. Money was allowed to be sent for the purpose of "supporting each other and empowering families", as well as to support entrepreneurs.

In addition, the US intends to grant more migrant visas to Cubans. This will allow Cuban citizens to connect with their families who are in the United States.
