Nobody likes a bully, but US is bullying UK banks by threatening to prosecute UK banks with branches in the US that have any dealings with Cuba. Lloyds TSB has taken head of these threats and decided to write to customers who trade with Cuba telling them to stop or move accounts. Since when does the US have the right to decide who UK citizens can and cannot trade with – surely, that is the responsibility of our government – the US is just a bully. Source: The Guardian.
