The US leases the base from Cuba as per agreement which dates back to1903. Annual lease payments are made but the Cuban government doesn’t accept payment. GITMO is NOT US Soil, it's a rented area that falls under the jurisdiction of the US Navy. The land is technically Cuban territory, however the USA is granted complete political control over this area. So Cuban territory, but American laws. You in no way can compare GITMO to a US Embassy in a foreign country. GITMO is complicated.
