Traveling to Cuba through USA as a non-USA citizen

Traveling to Cuba through USA as a non-USA citizen - From below of crop person holding national flag of United States of America waving in wind on street against city river

There exist a couple of other questions on the matter but the circumstances have changed yet again.

Currently I am in the states and will be flying from the US to Cuba in a week. Although I am a British citizen on my travels, it appears that when flying from the states to Cuba I will be subject to US jurisdiction. Under Obamas regulations I could fly from the states to Cuba as long as met one of the twelve travel criteria.

I have an itinerary comprised of educational activities and am traveling alone using a standard American airline. I will be staying in private airbnbs. I will be returning to the US after Cuba.

However, President Trump has apparently made changes which will affect future travel. I can't find much information on the changes but it seems at least two of the twelve criteria will be removed - including educational activities. Another source claims that if the travel plans have been made before the travel changes come into effect, my trip should be ok.

All that said, I can only find when the travel changes were announced (June 16th?) - not whether they have actually come into effect yet. Can anyone confirm if these changes have come into effect yet?
