Yeah, food which can only be traded for with cash. Which is in short supply because there are some sort of restrictions on Cuba’s ability to trade commodities and raw resources for cash.
It’s in short supply because Cuba doesn’t have much worth trading.
I have no issues lifting the embargo but in return, they have to allow anyone to leave who wants to leave.
There would be a mass exodus the minute they did that.
If it’s purely because they don’t have much worth trading then why not lift the embargo and give them access to world trade, banks, and resources again? What’s the harm?
The US embargo also affects other countries. They don’t let ships dock at Cuba and then the US, for example. The reason they get oil from Venezuela is because they’re also iced out of much of the world market by US through sanctions.
Also, the US is 80 miles off the coast of Cuba and huge. Them not being available to trade with Cuba is a huge disadvantage.
No. Food doesn’t fall under the embargo.

They do for the most part. The embargo is the United States. I have never said I support the embargo. It’s an old archaic Cold War policy.

Ask the average Cuban if they rather have the embargo lifted or be able to leave the country
