## Summary

**Forced labor and human trafficking of Cuban medical personnel abroad** is the focus of this resolution. It would condemn Cuba's labor-export programs and press governments to stop exploitation, restore wages to workers, and hold officials accountable. - Workers: Would highlight abuses cited in the 2024 Trafficking in Persons report, including confiscated wages and passports, surveillance and curfews, and coercion or threats against workers and their families. - Host governments and international bodies: Would urge the roughly 72 countries that may have hosted Cuban workers to adopt transparent recruitment, require payment directly to workers, and proactively identify and protect trafficking victims. - U.S. policy actions: Would urge the President to use visa revocation authorities against foreign and organizational officials involved in Cuba's schemes and endorses the February 25, 2025 expansion of visa restrictions to target individuals who exploit Cuban labor.
