U.S. State Department Imposes Further Sanctions on Cuban Entities and Individuals Related to Mineral Wealth and Military Modernisation

On 17 September 2026, the U.S. State Department used Executive Order (E.O.) 14404 to name eight organisations and three individuals for sanctions. This move targets Cuba's nickel mining system and its military industries. It blocks their assets and stops transactions within U.S. control. This aims to deal with what the U.S. sees as harmful actions by the Cuban government and threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
