A 1934 treaty reaffirming the lease granted Cuba and its trading partners free access through the bay; modified the lease payment from $2,000 in U.S. gold coins per year, to the 1934 equivalent value of $3,085 in U.S. dollars; and made the lease permanent unless both governments agreed to break it, or the U.S. abandoned the base property.

The
U.S. Guantánamo Bay Naval Base, sometimes called "GTMO" or "Gitmo", covers 116 km² (about 45 square miles) on the western and eastern banks of the bay. It was established in
1898, when the United States obtained control of Cuba from
Spain at the end of the
Spanish-American War, following the
1898 invasion of Guantánamo Bay. The U.S. government obtained a
99-year lease that began on
February 23,
1903, from
Tomás Estrada Palma, a Cuban-born citizen, who became the first President of Cuba. The newly-formed American
protec torate incorporated the
Platt Amendment in the Cuban Constitution. The
Cuban-American Treaty held, among other things, that the United States, for the purposes of operating coaling and naval stations, has "complete jurisdiction and control" of the Guantánamo Bay, while the Republic of Cuba is recognized to retain ultimate sovereignty.
