In around the 1960's relations between Russia and the Unite States began to get a little tense. Once the Russians began sending Cuba nuclear weapons which were within reach of most of America, America sent out to Cuba forcing them to give the weapons back to Russia. This is known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. After this the United States would not have anything to do with Cuba. This is why Cuban cars are the mainly still the same style as the old 1950's American Style cars as well as you cannot fly to Cuba from the United States.
they have nationalized private bussinesses
As far as I am aware, the only country that America has an embargo against is the island of Cuba, and not Columbia.
why was the embargo on cuba?
the embargo was confided into law in 1992 with the stated purpose of maintaining sanctions on Cuba so long as the Cuban government continues to refuse to move toward "democratization and greater respect for human rights so pretty much because Cuba is a communist country america refused trade because the didn't approve of it... america tried one time to relieve Cuba from communism and failed terribly lol.. so they didn't want anything to do with them... if Cuba would trade communism for democracy then america will lift the embargo act and life would be happy :) ---- jessie <3
Nothing other than refugees. The United States has an embargo against Cuba currently. In the past we imported goods and slaves from Africa through Cuba as well as sugar cane.
The United States established a trade embargo against Cuba on October 19, 1960. The embargo does not include exports for medicine and food.
the united states placed a trade embargo on Cuba
There is a trade embargo with Cuba, the US does not trade anything with Cuba.
The United States.
The U.S cannot trade with Cuba because we (The United States) have a embargo against Cuba. No one is allowed to travel there only under some circumstances. Congress has also made a bill that has made that Embargo stronger
Because if there are political issues/differences then there is no point to trade with them. Ex:) The US put an embargo on Cuba because they pointed nuclear weapons at us.
Cuba
the embargo stupid!
