On January 29, 2026, Donald Trump reaffirmed this legacy in yet another executive order, released under the title Fact Sheet: Threats to the United States by the Government of Cuba. In this latest assault on Cu-ban sovereignty, Trump announced his intention to “put America first” by declaring a national emergency and imposing punitive tariffs on countries that sell or other-wise provide oil to Cuba. The order authorizes additional tariffs on imports from any country that directly or indirectly supplies oil to Cuba—an act of collective punishment dressed up as national security policy.
