Trump did the same thing for his first two years in office, but in January he suspended it for only 45 days and then for only 30 days, a term that now expires on April 17.

On that day, Gutierrez said, he expects the government to issue an official "positive" announcement that "foreign partners" of Cuban firms can be sued.

A Department of Justice committee has "certified" 5,913 cases brought by US citizens and firms - including Texaco, Coca Cola and Palmolive - who will be able to resort to Title III, if it is activated, to file lawsuits for a total of $1.9 billion.

That group - Gutierrez said - has investigated the issue for 30 years and probed into some 200,000 to 300,000 complaints by Cuban-American citizens claiming that property and companies they owned - such as the Bacardi liquor company, the lands of Havana's Jose Marti International Airport, sugar plantations, insurance companies and many others - were confiscated without compensation by the Castro regime.
