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.U.S. policy toward Cuba in 2026 has centered on economic pressure through a fuel and oil import blockade, executive orders declaring a national emergency, tariffs on third-country suppliers, and diplomatic engagement rather than direct military intervention. Following the Venezuela operation, President Trump and officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio have issued strong statements on regime change and floated "friendly takeover" possibilities, while the Pentagon has reviewed contingency options and positioned naval assets in the Caribbean. However, verified developments show ongoing bilateral talks, Cuban prisoner releases, and no authorization or launch of offensive operations to seize territory as of mid-August. Traders assign the low probability of a 2026 invasion to these patterns of sanctions, negotiations, and planning without escalation, alongside the substantial logistical, political, and international costs of a full-scale operation against a nearby neighbor.
