Five Cuban entities, including three tied to GAESA and Cuba's state-owned GeoMinera, were designated for sanctions according to reports from Fox News and Just The News. Three of the entities are financial or logistics firms, two generate revenue from mineral reserves, and one involves the wife of previously sanctioned Alejandro Castro Espín. Reports conflict on whether Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Mark Rubio announced the measures and cite an unverifiable executive order dated May 2026.
