Trump Signs Executive Order 14404 Sanctioning Those Responsible for Repression and Corruption in Cuba
On May 1, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14404 at the White House in Washington, imposing sanctions on foreign persons responsible for repression, human rights abuse and corruption in Cuba, blocking their property in the United States and restricting their entry. The order builds on the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380 of January 29, 2026, concerning threats posed by the Government of Cuba.
Under the order, all property and interests in property in the United States, or in the possession or control of U.S. persons, are blocked for foreign persons who operate in sectors of the Cuban economy such as energy, defense and related materiel, metals and mining, financial services or security; who act for or on behalf of the Government of Cuba or a blocked person; who are leaders, officials or senior executives of the Government of Cuba; who engage in serious human rights abuse or Cuba-related corruption; and adult family members of designated persons.
The order also suspends entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of persons meeting the sanctions criteria, and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to sanction foreign financial institutions that conduct significant transactions for blocked persons, including by restricting correspondent accounts or blocking their property. Specific designations are to be made by the Departments of State and the Treasury.
