How this market settles

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump or the United States federal government officially announces any reduction, suspension, removal, or similar relief for U.S. sanctions related to the sale or transport of oil, fuel or other petroleum products to Cuba between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying announcement must explicitly indicate that U.S. restrictions, sanctions, penalties, or threats of penalties related to oil or fuel trade with Cuba will be suspended, reduced, removed, or otherwise substantively relaxed. An announcement that the United States will not impose tariffs on countries exporting oil to Cuba will qualify. Only definitive announcements will qualify. Suggestions, negotiations, expressions of openness, or other non-definitive statements will not qualify. Any qualifying announcement within this market’s time frame will count, regardless of whether or when the announced relief goes into effect. The primary resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump and the US federal government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

What could still go wrong

  • The market description does not specify which December 31 (year) is the deadline, though the end date of 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z suggests December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET
  • The term 'substantively relaxed' is subjective and could cause disputes over whether a partial or minor relief qualifies
  • The phrase 'similar relief' is vague and may encompass actions not clearly enumerated
  • 'Consensus of credible reporting' as an alternative resolution source introduces subjectivity in determining what constitutes credible reporting or consensus
  • The market creation date is not specified, leaving some ambiguity about the start of the qualifying window
  • It is unclear whether executive orders, regulatory changes, or only explicit public announcements qualify, and whether informal statements from Trump (e.g., social media posts) count as 'official' announcements
