古巴计划向居住在美国的古巴公民开放投资,特朗普政府对古巴施压

古巴政府正计划允许包括居住在美国的古巴公民在内的海外古巴人投资古巴岛上的企业。古巴政府一位高级官员在周一接受美国全国广播公司新闻采访时表示,该国正面临经济崩溃和特朗普政府的巨大压力。

“古巴愿意与美国公司以及居住在美国的古巴人和他们的后代建立畅通的商业关系,”副总理奥斯卡·佩雷斯-奥利瓦·弗拉加在接受该媒体采访时表示。他补充说,该国不仅欢迎小额投资,也欢迎大型投资,尤其是在基础设施领域。

弗拉加表示,新政策将于周一晚间公布。

CBS新闻已联系白宫寻求置评。

这标志着该国发生了显著转变。几十年来,古巴实行以国家控制为主的经济体制,直到2021年才大幅放宽对居民创办私营企业的限制。

这一政策变化正值古巴面临能源电网崩溃和多次公共抗议之际。今年早些时候,特朗普政府威胁要对向古巴运送石油的任何国家征收高额关税,切断了古巴获取石油的途径,导致燃料短缺。

近几个月来,特朗普总统及其政府成员暗示,这个共产主义政权可能会垮台——此前特朗普下令美军行动逮捕了另一个敌对的拉美国家委内瑞拉的领导人。

周日晚些时候,特朗普告诉记者,美国和古巴政府正在谈判。他称古巴是“一个失败的国家”,表示古巴“想要达成协议,而且我认为我们很快要么达成协议,要么采取必要措施”。他还表示,“古巴的事情很快就会有结果”,但他说他想先处理与伊朗的战争问题。

上个月,美国总统称“友好接管”古巴是可能的。

当被问及对古巴的计划时,总统表示:“无论我是否解放它、接管它,我认为我都可以为所欲为,如果你想知道真相的话。”

目前尚不清楚会有多少外国投资流向该岛。由于美国对古巴实施了严厉制裁,除非获得美国政府许可,否则美国人很难在古巴投资或与古巴开展业务,不过也有一些例外情况。美国国务院还禁止与一系列被认为与古巴军队或情报部门有关联的公司进行直接金融交易。

弗拉加表示,美国对古巴贸易的限制“无疑是影响这些改革发展的一个因素”。

迈阿密大学古巴研究教授安迪·戈麦斯告诉CBS迈阿密,外国投资者在古巴面临的风险可能大于收益。

“在古巴投资并确保你能让公司保住大部分收益,这一点并不明确,”他说。

Cuba plans to open up to investment from nationals living in U.S., as Trump puts pressure on island

Updated on: March 16, 2026 / 5:42 PM EDT / CBS News

The Cuban government is planning to allow Cuban nationals who live abroad — including in the U.S. — to invest in companies on the island, a top government official told NBC News in an interview that aired Monday, as the country faces economic collapse and immense pressure from the Trump administration.

“Cuba is open to having a fluid commercial relationship with U.S. companies [and] also with Cubans residing in the United States and their descendants,” Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga said in an interview with the outlet. He added that the country is open to “not only small investments, but also large investments, particularly in infrastructure.”

Fraga indicated that the new policy would be announced Monday night.

CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment.

It marks a notable shift for the country, which has had a largely state-controlled economy for decades and heavily restricted residents from starting private businesses until 2021.

The policy change comes as Cuba grapples with a collapsing energy grid and bouts of public protest. The Trump administration threatened steep tariffs earlier this year on any country that ships oil to Cuba, choking off the country’s access to petroleum and leading to fuel shortages.

President Trump and members of his administration have suggested in recent months that the island’s communist regime could fall — after Mr. Trump ordered a U.S. military operation to arrest the leader of Venezuela, another adversarial Latin American country.

Mr. Trump told reporters late Sunday that the U.S. and Cuban governments are talking. Calling Cuba a “failed nation,” the president said Cuba “wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon either make a deal or do whatever we have to do.” He also said that “something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” though he said he wants to deal with the war with Iran first.

Last month, the U.S. president said a “friendly takeover” of Cuba was possible.

Asked Monday about his plans for Cuba, the president said: “Whether I free it, take it, I think I could do anything I want with it, [if] you want to know the truth.”

It’s unclear how much foreign investment would be drawn to the island. Cuba is under intense U.S. sanctions that make it difficult for Americans to invest in Cuba or do business with the country without U.S. government permission, with some exceptions. The U.S. State Department also bans direct financial transactions with a litany of companies that it deems to be affiliated with Cuba’s military or intelligence services.

Fraga said the U.S.’s restrictions on commerce with Cuba are “undoubtedly an element that affects the development of these transformations.”

Andy Gomez, a professor of Cuban studies at the University of Miami, told CBS Miami that the risks of foreign investors in Cuba may outweigh the benefits.

“To invest in Cuba and be assured that you’re going to be able to, for the companies, be able to keep most of your earnings, that’s not very clear,” he said.
