Beyoncé and Jay Z’s vacation in Cuba last week was fully licensed by the United States Treasury Department, according to a source familiar with the trip.
After the RnB power couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana, Republican members of Congress asked for information on what type of license they obtained.
Their arrival drew in huge crowds of local fans as they strolled hand in hand through the city and posed for pictures with admiring Cubans.
