Why it matters

The order characterizes the Cuban government as an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to US national security. The order states the Cuban regime aligns with and provides support for Russia, China, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah. The action follows earlier public statements by Trump in January 2026 about acting against Cuba.
