Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
President Donald J. Trump issued this order to expand sanctions tied to the national emergency concerning Cuba declared earlier in 2026. It blocks the U.S.-based property and financial interests of foreign individuals and entities linked to the Cuban government, key sectors of Cuba’s economy, serious human rights abuses, corruption, or support for already sanctioned persons. The order also bars those designated individuals from entering the United States and allows penalties on foreign financial institutions that help them carry out significant transactions. Trump says the action was issued because the Cuban government’s conduct continues to threaten U.S. national security and foreign policy and is tied to repression and abuse in Cuba.
