Tensions between the US and Cuba have escalated under President Trump, who declared "Cuba is next" after military actions in Venezuela and Iran, prompting the Pentagon to accelerate contingency planning for potential operations on the island as reported in mid-April. An ongoing US oil blockade since early 2026 has deepened Cuba's economic crisis, halting key shipments and fueling regime change demands during secret Havana talks. On April 28, the Senate voted 51-47 to block a Democratic war powers resolution by Sen. Tim Kaine requiring congressional approval for military action, lowering procedural hurdles. Cuban President Díaz-Canel warned of readiness to fight back, while no strikes or invasions have occurred amid the Iran conflict's distractions. Traders monitor for executive orders or further diplomatic breakdowns.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
