The Trump administration has intensified pressure on Cuba’s energy sector through Executive Orders 14380 (January 2026) and 14404 (May 2026), which authorized tariffs on third-country oil suppliers and secondary sanctions on foreign entities operating in Cuba’s energy, finance, and related sectors. This followed the cutoff of Venezuelan supplies after Maduro’s capture and included the June 2026 SDN designation of state oil company CUPET plus subsequent listings of importers, exploration firms, and GAESA-linked entities. Secretary Rubio has described ongoing designations as a rolling effort to close revenue channels, with the August 2026 renewal of Trading With the Enemy Act authorities maintaining the legal foundation for restrictions. Cuba’s June 2026 economic liberalization measures have not altered this trajectory, as U.S. actions continue to target state-controlled oil trade and associated evasion networks amid the island’s fuel shortages. These developments shape trader consensus on the low near-term likelihood of sanction relief announcements.
