This is action by the Cuban Government, not a US Federal action.

I seriously doubt than an aviation agreement would contain provisions regarding treatment of each other's citizens. Could happen, but not the sort of provision you would see in this type of agreement.

And then, would it apply to a Cuban born, Jamaican National legally working in the US?

Many people may have their ability to travel limited by their dual nationalities, or place of birth. I recall Greek dual nationals being cautioned on their travel to Greece as their other passport did not protect them from 'Military Service".

I'm sure AA can deal with this.
