This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Cuban land territory by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Cuba or the United States as market creation, will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible sources.Amid heightened U.S.-Cuba tensions under President Trump's maximum pressure campaign, trader consensus prices a U.S. invasion at just 22.5% likelihood for 2026, reflecting the absence of concrete military mobilization despite escalatory rhetoric. A January executive order declared a national emergency over Cuba's Russian ties, spurring oil tanker seizures, naval deployments, and fuel blockades that triggered Cuban blackouts, but Pentagon leaders denied invasion preparations as recently as March. Mid-April reports of contingency planning and Trump's threats prompted Cuban vows of defense, yet the Senate's April 29 rejection of a Democratic resolution curbing unilateral military action underscores political hurdles without tipping toward execution. Diplomatic talks on prisoners persist, prioritizing economic siege over boots-on-ground risks amid U.S. focus elsewhere.
