US Supreme Court to hear Exxon bid for compensation from Cuba
Reuters· 2026-02-23 11:01
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Supreme Court will hear cases involving ExxonMobil and cruise operators regarding compensation for property seized by Cuba under the Helms-Burton Act, amidst increasing pressure from the Trump administration on the Cuban government [1]. Group 1: Legal Context - The Helms-Burton Act, enacted in 1996, allows American companies to sue for compensation for property confiscated by Cuba's government after the 1959 revolution [1]. - ExxonMobil is seeking over $1 billion in compensation for its oil and gas assets seized in 1960, which were valued at $70 million at the time of confiscation [1]. - The Supreme Court's decision could clarify the extent of remedies available under the Helms-Burton Act and potentially eliminate barriers for claimants [1]. Group 2: Specific Cases - ExxonMobil's case involves accusations against Corporación CIMEX, Cuba's largest conglomerate, for profiting from the confiscated property [1]. - The cruise line case involves four operators—Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, and MSC Cruises—accused of unlawfully using docks built by an American company that were also seized in 1960 [1]. - A federal judge previously ruled that the cruise lines engaged in trafficking, imposing judgments exceeding $100 million, but a lower court later dismissed these judgments [1]. Group 3: Political Implications - The Trump administration supports ExxonMobil's litigation, labeling Cuba as a significant threat to U.S. national security and threatening tariffs on countries supplying fuel to Cuba [1]. - The Helms-Burton Act's provision allowing lawsuits has been suspended by previous presidents to avoid diplomatic conflicts, but Trump lifted this suspension in 2019 [1].
