Which country owns Guatanamo Bay?

Answer 1

Since 1903 in the Cuban-American Treaty, the US has territorial control.

Answer 2

Technically, the Guantanamo naval base -- the oldest U.S. offshore base and the only one in a country with which the U.S. does not have diplomatic relations -- is owned by Cuba.

The U.S. leases it under the terms of a contract that was first signed with Cuba in 1903 and updated in 1934. The terms of the lease say the U.S. can occupy the 45-square-mile base unless *both* the U.S. and Cuba agree otherwise, or until the U.S. abandons the property.

By the time of the Marxist revolution in the late 1950s, the base was of strategic importance to the U.S. So, even though Castro would prefer to have the land back, the U.S. continues its operations there.

President Dwight Eisenhower asserted the rights granted by the lease when, in January 1961, he ended diplomatic relations with the Castro government. "The termination of our diplomatic and consular relations with Cuba has no effect on the status of our naval station at Guantanamo. The treaty rights under which we maintain the Naval Station may not be abrogated without the consent of the United States," Eisenhower said.

I can't determine whether the U.S. continues to pay the annual rent of $4,085 per year (negotiated in1934), but I suspect not.

Answer 3

The United States, no one else. It goes all the way back to the Spanish - American war. We captured Cuba, and for a while it was a US territory, like the Phillipines once were, and Puerto Rico still is. After the revolution, Castro didn't seriously try to do anything to reclaim it because it could cause a war with the US, which the USSR wouldn't allow him to do (Bay of Pigs not withstanding).
