+# Cuba Church News Watch
+
+## Purpose
+
+Track major U.S.–Cuba and Cuba domestic developments that could affect church brothers and sisters in Cuba, especially opportunities for practical help.
+
+## Standing Watch Criteria
+
+Hermes should check news every morning and update this note quietly. Only notify Adolfo when something major is announced.
+
+Major means one or more of:
+
+- New U.S. or Cuban law, executive order, sanctions action, travel rule, remittance rule, banking/payment change, or humanitarian exception.
+- Major change in Cuba’s economic situation affecting food, fuel, electricity, medicine, migration, churches, NGOs, or private businesses.
+- Any official opening for aid, church support, family remittances, medicine, food, communications, travel, or foreign investment that could help Cuban believers.
+- Credible reports of worsening humanitarian conditions or religious freedom restrictions.
+- Any clear pathway where the Reyna family/church could help practically.
+
+## Current Context
+
+Recent reporting and official U.S. actions show a rapidly changing situation:
+
+- The U.S. declared a new Cuba-related national emergency in 2026 and created pressure around oil supply to Cuba.
+- The U.S. expanded sanctions authority against Cuban state, security, energy, defense, mining, financial, and related actors.
+- OFAC issued June 2026 Cuba designations, including entities tied to the Cuban state/military and CUPET, Cuba’s state oil company.
+- CBS/AFP reported that Cuba’s National Assembly approved 176 major free-market reforms, including foreign investment without mandatory state joint ventures, large private enterprises, and investor stakes in state companies.
+- The CBS report described severe shortages in fuel, power, food, drinking water, and medicine, with long power outages and humanitarian concern.
+
+## Watch Log
+
+### 2026-06-19
+
+Created watch note and morning-monitoring plan. Initial focus: watch whether Cuba implements the 176 free-market reforms, whether the U.S. adjusts sanctions or humanitarian channels, and whether reliable opportunities emerge to support church brothers in Cuba through aid, remittances, medicine, food, communications, or travel.
