US pressure on Cuba through an oil blockade and sanctions has intensified since early 2026 following the ouster of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, producing acute fuel shortages, blackouts, and economic strain that traders view as heightening regime vulnerability. Yet ongoing bilateral talks, including a recent CIA director meeting with Cuban officials, signal a preference for negotiated concessions over outright collapse, with Havana releasing political prisoners and maintaining its security apparatus. This diplomatic channel, combined with the Communist Party’s demonstrated cohesion and historical resilience against external isolation, underpins the 71.5% market probability that the regime will endure through the end of the year. Scheduled talks and internal stability measures continue to shape assessments of whether acute shortages will trigger transition before December 31.

A “Yes” resolution requires a clear and widely reported break from the PCC’s historical control over the government of Cuba. This may include events such as the overthrow or dissolution of the PCC and its replacement by a new government or transitional authority, the constitutional removal of the PCC’s status as the sole ruling party followed by a transfer of governing power to a different political entity, or the holding of multi-party national elections that result in a government not controlled by the PCC. A “Yes” resolution does not require the formal dissolution of the PCC, provided the PCC no longer exercises de facto governing control over Cuba.
Leadership changes within the PCC, including replacement of the First Secretary, or governmental reforms that preserve the PCC’s de facto governing control over Cuba, will not suffice. Partial loss of territory, civil unrest, or challenges by rebel or exile groups will not qualify unless the PCC no longer administers the majority of the Cuban population within Cuba.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
