**US policy toward Cuba centers on sustained maximum pressure through expanded sanctions and an effective oil supply restriction, sharply limiting near-term prospects for a broad economic agreement.** Since early 2025, the Trump administration reinstated Cuba’s State Sponsor of Terrorism designation, reactivated restricted-entity lists, and enforced tighter travel and remittance rules. In January 2026, an executive order declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs on third countries supplying oil to Cuba, halting prior Venezuelan shipments and contributing to severe fuel shortages and blackouts on the island. A May 2026 follow-on order authorized secondary sanctions targeting Cuban energy, defense, mining, financial, and security sectors, with initial designations against military-linked entities. President Trump has repeatedly urged Cuban leaders to “make a deal before it’s too late,” with reports of high-level contacts, yet no framework for normalized trade, investment, or embargo relief has emerged. Cuba has rejected core US demands while offering limited technical cooperation. Any economic accord would require verifiable Cuban reforms on human rights, property claims, and governance—conditions that remain unmet amid the ongoing pressure campaign and Cuba’s economic distress.
