A huge problem has been the US Embargo in Cuba and especially the Helms-Burton Act. The HBA was passed in 1996 when Congress flipped to Newt and it is setup to penalize any country that sells or trades with Cuba directly. If any country even sells them an apple they fake an Embargo from the US in response.
It's kind of the opposite of Capitalism to forcefully restrict another country to be able to prosper and do any sort of global trade.
The whole thing is a fucked up situation. We need to just end the embargo and let their people figure shit out on their own.
