You’re link is for 2019. Biden ran in 2020 and he included in his platform to move towards normalizing relationships with Cuba. He has since decided to impose even more sanctions which had a direct negative result on the Cuban economy making them much more vulnerable to disasters like this. So again, what are the justifications of the sanctions?
They do exist. There were at least 4 rounds of diplomatic discussions. Notes were taken.
Ok so show me evidence of this supposed deal then.
The link still stands at State. It’s the current position.
And Biden campaigned on changing it but broke that promise.
What new sanctions? Specifics.
It’s literally in the article as well as one of the excerpts I quoted to you in my first comment:
Instead, Biden has one-upped Trump by going further than the previous administration in attacking Cuba’s tourism industry – the main engine of the island’s economy. Two years ago, the Biden State Department barred foreigners who visit Cuba from visa-free travel to the U.S.
Thats not new, the US can and does bar travel in the US based on previous travel. Post 911, if you visit a terrorist state, you don’t get to roam the US. But, it’s interesting that you blame Cuba’s electrical grid failure on it.
Ok now you’re really just being intentionally obtuse. The terrorist designation was older than the Biden administration. The limitations on the tourism was during the Biden administration.

I blame American sanctions on Cuba’s inability to adequately help it’s people during a disaster, yes.
It’s not obtuse, it’s a fact. Maybe just realized as a fact, but a fact nonetheless.
First, the way the Caribbean countries work, the original ownership countries are supposed to help out after disasters and sometimes they dont. So the british are reactive usually. France sometimes. Dutch do what they can. US should always be there for Puerto Rico and the VI.
I guess it would be Spain for Cuba. Have they asked? Has Cuba asked the US? Personally I’d be all for helping. To a point.

Show me evidence of this supposed fact of yours then.

An intentional deflection from the point of US sanctions harming Cuba’s ability to support itself after a natural disaster. But to entertain your question, yes they did ask.
Personally I’d be all for helping. To a point.
No you just want to tie your views on humanitarian aid to political beliefs, and not actual humanitarian ones. It’s abundantly clear you’re not able to see America do anything wrong on the world stage and instead insist that everything it’s done is justified but fail to actually provide the justifications.
They asked for money? That’s kind of funny. They know Congress would never give them money.
No, actually I’d be for it, to a point. Had a friend of mine piloting a hurricane hunter during the height of tensions with Cuba. He was in the middle of a storm run and lost an engine. An oh shit moment and declared an emergency. Cuba gave himn permission to land, gave him coffee, fixed the plane, sent him on his way. Cuba watches NOAA and appreciates it.
But, not money. They can buy food and medical supplies from us, so maybe a small line of credit. Congress would be needed for that BTW
Because they don’t exist.

I see nothing funny about a country whose in abject poverty, thanks to foreign interference, be in a dire situation due to a natural disaster.
Kinda the point, no?
With what fucking money?
