The United States Cuban Embassy may go out of business - Scott Kaiser - 12-05-2014
The Cuban office in Washington D.C. that issues visas and passports to the Caribbean country said it was forced to halt nearly all its services Tuesday because no banks will do business with it.
The Cuban Interests Section, which handles consular services for American travelers to Cuba, said that it no longer can provide key services, including passport and visa processing.
In July, M&T Bank told the Cuban Interests Section that it would no longer provide banking services to foreign missions, Cuban officials said in a news release Tuesday. The Cuban Interests Section and the Cuban Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York thus had a limited amount of time to close their accounts and find a new bank to do business with, officials said.
