Cuba will not attend the Central American and Caribbean Games in Puerto Rico, saying it is unhappy with visa restrictions and other regulations.

The Cuban Olympic Committee said Friday it was forced into the decision by the “failure to meet demands fairly presented to organizers” of the games, which opens July 17 in Mayaguez.

Puerto Rico is a self-governing territory of the United States and subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Washington does not have formal diplomatic relations with Cuba.
