At the time of the communist revolution in Cuba, Castro nationalized all the American property in Cuba (not counting the Guantanamo Bay naval base), which is to say, he seized it for the Cuban government and did not pay for it. The US is holding a grudge about this. Aside from that, Cuba has been hostile toward the US throughout the Cold War period, and always opposed anything the US was trying to do. Relations between the two countries are very bad.

the united states placed a trade embargo on Cuba
When Fidel Castro seized American businesses in Cuba, the US broke off all diplomatic relations with Cuba. On October 19, 1960, the US imposed a trade embargo against Cuba on everything except food and medicine. On February 7, 1962, the embargo was extended to include all imports. The embargo still stands today.
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
