The Cuban Trade Embargo

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a discussion about the forty-year old Cuban Trade Embargo. The writer details the reasons the United States cannot eliminate the embargo and provides a foundation of understanding as to why this is the best move at this point in history. It shows that lifting the embargo would allow Castro to demonstrate to the world that the U.S .embargo tactics only worked if the recipients allowed them to work.

From the Paper:

"Critics have argued that the embargo does not force or appear to make Cuba comply while it does in fact make life difficult for the Cuban residents. Those who want the embargo lifted believe it is making a bad situation worse for those who live there. The detractors of the embargo also site the fact that the United States still has relations with other nations that have political prisoners and prevent elections and free speech. Those nations include Saudi Arabia and China among others."
