Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Cuba

On January 29, 2026, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14380, declaring a national emergency due to the perceived threats posed by the Government of Cuba to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. The order cites Cuba's alignment with hostile countries and support for transnational terrorist groups as key concerns. To address this, the order establishes a tariff system that imposes additional duties on goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba. The Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of State are tasked with monitoring compliance and implementing the order, with the goal of holding the Cuban regime accountable and protecting U.S. interests.
