United States-Cuba Trade Act of 2026

This bill would remove longstanding U.S. trade restrictions on Cuba by repealing key laws including the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992 and the LIBERTAD Act of 1996. It would allow U.S. businesses to trade with Cuba without restrictions, enable telecommunications services between the U.S. and Cuba, and eliminate limits on U.S. citizens sending remittances to Cuba. The bill also extends normal trade relations to Cuban goods, meaning Cuban products would enter the U.S. market without special tariffs. This would directly affect U.S. businesses, travelers, and Cuban citizens who receive remittances. The changes would take effect 60 days after enactment, with some provisions applying to goods entering the U.S. market 15 days after enactment.
