On June 5, 2026, the United States announced a new round of economic sanctions aimed at Cuba's leadership, specifically targeting the Cuban president and the Castro family.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted that individuals providing support to the sanctioned entities may themselves face risks of sanctions.

These measures appear to be part of a broader strategy to apply pressure on the Cuban government amidst escalating tensions between the two nations.
