The Trump administration has maintained and expanded its maximum pressure campaign on Cuba through targeted sanctions on the island’s energy sector since January 2026, including executive orders authorizing tariffs on third-country oil suppliers, naval interdiction of tankers, and the June designation of state-owned Unión Cuba-Petróleo to the SDN list. These measures followed the cutoff of Venezuelan supplies after Nicolás Maduro’s capture and have produced sustained fuel shortages, multiple nationwide blackouts, and economic strain, with further restrictions announced in July blocking even humanitarian fuel imports. No official statements or diplomatic signals indicate imminent relief or general licenses for oil transactions; instead, policy continues to emphasize secondary sanctions on foreign entities and support for regime change objectives by year-end. Scheduled congressional reviews, humanitarian aid discussions, or any shift in bilateral talks remain the primary near-term variables that could alter the trajectory before late 2026.
