By the power granted to me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and to further address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380 on January 29, 2026 (Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Cuba), I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. Policy
The policies, practices, and actions of the Government of Cuba, as outlined in Executive Order 14380, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat that originates substantially outside the United States, affecting the national security and foreign policy of the United States. These policies, practices, and actions are not only designed to harm the United States but are also contrary to the moral and political values of free and democratic societies.
Sec. 2. Sanctionable Conduct
(a) All properties and interests in properties that are in the United States, that may come into the United States, or that are or may come into the possession or control of any United States persons of the following individuals are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(i) any foreign person determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, or vice versa:
(A) to operate in or have operated in the energy, defense and related materials, metals and mining, financial services, or security sector of the Cuban economy, or any other sector of the Cuban economy, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State;
(B) to be owned, controlled, or directed by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Government of Cuba or any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order;
(C) to own or control, directly or indirectly, any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order;
(D) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, the Government of Cuba or any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order;
(E) to be or have been a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of the Government of Cuba or an entity whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order;
(F) to be a political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality of the Government of Cuba;
(G) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in or attempted to engage in, serious human rights abuse in Cuba;
(H) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, corruption related to Cuba, including corruption by, on behalf of, or otherwise related to the Government of Cuba, or a current or former official at any level of the Government of Cuba, such as the misappropriation of public assets, expropriation of private assets for personal gain or political purposes, or bribery; or
(I) to be an adult family member of a person designated under this order.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) apply except as provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses issued under this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the date of this order; except that this subsection shall not apply to activities authorized by, and shall not affect the validity of, any license issued under part 515 of chapter 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(c) Except as required by section 203(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)), or provided in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses issued under this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the date of this order:
(i) any transaction or dealing by United States persons or within the United States in property or interests in property blocked under this order is prohibited, including but not limited to the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services to or for the benefit of those persons whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order;
(ii) any transaction by any United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited; and
(iii) any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(d) I determine that the making of donations of the type specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by United States persons to persons determined to be subject to subsection (a) would severely hinder my ability to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380, and I hereby prohibit such donations.
(e) For persons determined to be subject to subsection (a) who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that due to the ability to transfer funds or assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken under this order would render these measures ineffective. Therefore, I determine that for these measures to effectively address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380, no prior notice is needed for a listing or determination made under subsection (a).
Sec. 3. Travel
(a) I find that the unrestricted entry into the United States of immigrants and nonimmigrants who meet one or more of the criteria in section 2(a)(i) of this order would be harmful to U.S. interests, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, whether as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such individuals, except where the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of State’s designee, determines that the person’s entry is in the national interest of the United States. Such individuals will be treated similarly to those covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 4. Foreign Financial Institutions
(a) The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is authorized to impose one or more of the sanctions described in subsection (b) on a foreign financial institution upon determining that the institution has conducted or facilitated significant transactions for or on behalf of any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under this order.
(b) For any foreign financial institution meeting the criteria in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, may:
(i) prohibit the opening of, or impose strict conditions on the maintenance of, correspondent accounts or payable-through accounts in the United States; and
(ii) block all property and interests in property that are in the United States, that may come into the United States, or that are or may come into the possession or control of any United States person of such foreign financial institution, and provide that such property and interests in property may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in. The prohibitions described in this subsection shall include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under this subsection; and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
(c) The sanctions described in subsection (b) apply except as provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses issued under this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the date of this order; except that this subsection shall not apply to activities authorized by, and shall not affect the validity of, any license issued under part 515 of chapter 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(d) I determine that the making of donations of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property or interests in property are blocked under subsection (b) would severely hinder my ability to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380, and I hereby prohibit such donations.
Sec. 5. Delegation
In accordance with applicable law, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury are directed and authorized to take all necessary actions to implement this order, including through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or through notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules, regulations, or guidance.
