Tensions between the US and Cuba have escalated since February 2026, when the Trump administration imposed an oil blockade targeting exporters like Mexico's Pemex, worsening Cuba's energy crisis following the January capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. President Trump's March 27 speech in Miami, touting US military successes in Venezuela and Iran, declared "Cuba is next," prompting Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to vow guerrilla-style resistance and his deputy foreign minister to affirm military preparations against potential aggression. US officials, including a top general, deny invasion planning, emphasizing sanctions and back-channel diplomacy amid polls showing 61% American opposition to military action. Traders monitor bilateral talks and Cuba's humanitarian strain for signals of de-escalation or further pressure short of strikes.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
