Cruise lines that operated at Cuban docks taken from a U.S.-owned port company when Fidel Castro nationalized private property in 1960 can be held financially liable, the Supreme Court ruled, according to The New York Times.
The 8-to-1 decision backed Havana Docks Corporation, which had sued major cruise lines over their use of the confiscated property. Before the justices, the Trump administration argued on the company's behalf, characterizing the legal avenue — which Congress created in the 1990s — as a lever for steering foreign capital away from Cuba, according to The Times.
