Spanish firm Vima pulls back from Cuba to dodge US sanctions

Vima, a Spanish partner of Cuban state entity Gaesa, has begun withdrawing from Cuba by removing signage from its Havana store and scaling back warehouse operations in Berroa, though products remain on sale. This marks a concrete corporate response to US sanctions pressure, signaling tightening compliance and potential broader foreign disengagement from Cuba. The move is partially confirmed by the source and reflects an ongoing trend of sanctions-driven exits.
