Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
This Executive Order expands the existing national emergency against the Government of Cuba by imposing broad secondary sanctions and asset freezes on foreign persons operating in key sectors of the Cuban economy (energy, defense, metals/mining, financial services, security). It authorizes the Treasury and State Departments to block property and deny entry to individuals and entities involved in repression, corruption, or support for the Cuban government, and empowers Treasury to sanction foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for designated persons. The order effectively tightens the U.S. embargo by targeting third-country companies and banks that do business with Cuba.
Promoting Retirement-Savings Access for American Workers by Establishing TrumpIRA.gov
This executive order directs the Treasury Secretary to create a government website (TrumpIRA.gov) by January 1, 2027, that lists private-sector IRAs meeting strict cost and quality criteria (net expense ratios ≤0.15%, no minimums) and promotes the existing federal Saver's Match of up to $1,000. It aims to increase retirement savings access for workers without employer plans, particularly independent contractors and self-employed individuals, by steering them toward low-cost, index-based investment options offered by qualifying financial institutions.
Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting
This executive order mandates that federal agencies default to using fixed-price contracts for procurement, shifting away from cost-reimbursement models. It requires written justification and senior-level approval for any non-fixed-price contract over certain dollar thresholds (e.g., $10M for most agencies, $100M for the Department of War), and directs agencies to review and renegotiate their 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days. The order also tasks OMB with implementation guidance and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council with proposing regulatory amendments within 120 days.
