      I’m out of the loop.

      Didn’t the embargo start because Cuba were allowing Russian military bases with nukes? Presumably they’re not doing that anymore so why still an embargo?

        IIRC Obama lifted it and Trump reinstated it. I could be misconstruing things though.

      Fair question and it’s telling that your post has downvotes but no one willing to put forward a counter point.
