This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Cuban land territory by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Cuba or the United States as market creation, will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible sources.US economic sanctions and an oil import blockade imposed since January 2026 have created severe fuel shortages and blackouts in Cuba, prompting repeated Trump administration threats of military action and asset positioning in the Caribbean. However, US officials have consistently signaled no imminent invasion plans, with analysts assessing a full-scale operation as the least likely scenario given high logistical requirements, urban insurgency risks, and domestic political costs amid other priorities. Recent developments center on expanded sanctions targeting energy sectors and regime pressure through indictments and tariffs rather than troop deployments. Diplomatic contacts have occurred alongside these measures, reinforcing trader views that economic coercion remains the primary tool short of direct conflict by year-end.
