Is Any Part of Cuba Under U.S. Control?

No sovereign Cuban territory is under U.S. control. The Guantánamo Bay Naval Base exists under a 1903 lease treaty (renewed 1934) that grants the U.S. “complete jurisdiction and control” only while the lease continues. Cuba considers the lease invalid under international law, but the base operates de facto as U.S. territory.

Cuba has been fully independent since 1902.
