Cuba v USA

I am UK citizen, with UK passport. Visiting Cuba as tourist later this
year.

Question 1: Do Cuban authorities stamp passport on entry and/or exit?

Question 2: If answer to above is 'Yes', will this affect entry at a future
date to USA?

TIA

Are you sure? Look very very carefully on page 16, looking for a
very faint stamp about 1cm square, with the words BANK S013 or
such across the top.

I specifically asked for my passport to be stamped, but aside from
those normal stamps, both my wife's and my passport have this "stealth"
stamp on page 16, as have many other people's. (Search google groups
for 'cuba passport stamp page 16'

As per my other post, have a very close look at page 16 and see if
you can see a very faint 1cm square stamp.

Interesting. Perhaps they've changed things in the last few years.
We could not see them stamp as they did it under a counter. (It
is in our UK passports)

Perhaps Dip entry is different.

I don't think they do it to be legible by anyone else. It looks
purposefully hidden, almost just a shadow. They will put it on
a page with stamps already. (It's tiny).

Nope. No marks at all on any page except a Jamaica stamp.
