**US-Cuba tensions have escalated sharply in 2026 through economic pressure and military signaling, but no direct clash has occurred.** Following the US operation in Venezuela, the Trump administration imposed an oil import blockade via executive order in late January, sanctioned Cuban leaders including President Miguel Díaz-Canel, and indicted former leader Raúl Castro. Pentagon planners examined contingency options such as air assaults and targeted strikes, while the US increased reconnaissance flights, deployed a carrier strike group and Marines to the Caribbean, and issued public warnings against Cuban arms acquisitions. These steps reflect a coercive strategy combining sanctions, third-country tariffs on oil suppliers, and visible force posture to press for regime change or concessions. Cuba has responded by preparing defenses, acquiring drones, and releasing prisoners amid fuel shortages and economic strain. High-level contacts, including a May CIA visit, and the absence of an order to execute planned operations indicate the US has prioritized attrition over immediate kinetic action. With roughly five months remaining in 2026 and competing priorities elsewhere, traders assign a 73% probability to "No," viewing the current approach as sustained pressure rather than an imminent territorial offensive.

A "military encounter" is defined as any incident involving the use of force such as missile strikes, artillery fire, exchange of gunfire, or other forms of direct military engagement between US and Cuban military forces. Non-violent actions, such as warning shots, artillery fire into uninhabited areas, or missile launches that land in territorial waters or pass through airspace, will not qualify for a "Yes" resolution. Intentional ship ramming that results in significant damage to (e.g., a hole in the hull) or the sinking of a military ship by another will count toward a "Yes" resolution, however minor damage (scrapes, dents) will not.
Note: the United States Coast Guard is considered part of the United States military, and the Cuban Border Guard is considered part of the Cuban military.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
