Travel from the US to Cancun with a layover in Cuba as an European citizen

Upvote:2

The Cuba sanctions are under 31 CFR § 515 and the relevant part is:

31 CFR § 515.560 - Travel-related transactions to, from, and within Cuba by persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction

Well, are you subject to U.S. jurisdiction?

31 CFR § 515.329 - Person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; person subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

(b) Any person within the United States as defined in § 515.330;

31 CFR § 515.330 - Person within the United States

(1) Any person, wheresoever located, who is a resident of the United States;
(2) Any person actually within the United States;

That's crystal clear. The restrictions apply not only to citizens and residents but to anyone within the US. And the restrictions (first link) do not recognize a layover as a valid activity.
