The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a US docks company, paving the way for other American firms to claim assets seized after Cuba's 1959 Communist revolution.
The 8-1 ruling comes amid soaring tensions between Washington and Havana, with President Donald Trump threatening to take over the country.
The decision reverses a federal appeals court ruling that four cruise lines had to pay $109 million each in compensation for using the confiscated docks in Cuba.
The Supreme Court found that the cruise lines used property tainted by a past confiscation, making them liable to the US company that owns a claim to that property.
