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.Trader consensus prices a 78.5% implied probability against a U.S. invasion of Cuba in 2026, reflecting institutional barriers and a preference for sanctions over military action amid President Trump's escalating rhetoric. Key recent drivers include Trump's May 1 executive order imposing new sanctions on Cuban regime officials—broadening existing restrictions without invoking force—following April reports of Pentagon contingency planning that has not advanced to operations. Congressional pushback intensified with a May 13 letter from 30 members warning against an "unlawful" takeover, Senate Republicans' cautions earlier this month, and prior April votes rejecting war powers limits on Cuba. Ongoing U.S.-Cuba diplomatic talks in Havana, Cuba's nationwide "National Defense Days" drills, and stretched U.S. commitments in Venezuela and Iran further deter escalation, with no casus belli or troop deployments signaling imminent invasion before year-end.
