→Sanctions teams must prepare controls for new Cuba authority

Implications
- → Sanctions screening teams must prepare Cuba-related filter updates under the new authority — future listings can require immediate blocking controls.
- → Payments and legal teams must flag Cuba-linked counterparties for sanctions review — designated parties can make transactions blocked.
