Motion text

That this House expresses grave concern at the executive order signed on 29 January 2026 by US President Donald Trump, which unjustifiably declares Cuba as an “extraordinary threat” to the national security of the United States and authorises new sanctions against any country supplying oil to Cuba; notes that Cuba is already facing a severe energy crisis as a result of the long standing US blockade, and that any further restrictions on fuel supplies will have a severe impact on healthcare, food production, transport, education, essential public services and access to electricity, fuel, and medical infrastructure; further notes that such measures amount to the collective punishment of a civilian population and will inevitably lead to avoidable deaths; recognises that the extraterritorial application of US sanctions seeks to coerce third party countries into complying with the US blockade, thereby undermining and breaching their national sovereignty and international law; recalls that the United Nations General Assembly has repeatedly and overwhelmingly condemned the US blockade of Cuba, with the UK repeatedly voting in support of that position; and calls on the UK Government to oppose this executive order, reject all extraterritorial sanctions, uphold the right of sovereign states to determine their own trading relationships with Cuba, and advocate for the rescission of measures that endanger humanitarian wellbeing.
