when did the us cut off trade with cuba?
1962
while ambassador to haiti in 1961, newbegin was recalled to washington prior to the inauguration of dictator françois duvalier, in protest of his fraudulent election. a marine colonel stationed in haiti once referred to newbegin as an "extremely decisive and strong-willed ambassador", a judgement echoed in other sources. in a state department briefing during the recall, however, newbegin expressed the opinion that there was no credible opposition in haiti to duvalier, and thus that the recall would have little positive effect. newbegin was right, in that the us cut off economic assistance in 1962 and duvalier appointed himself president for life in 1964. while ambassador, newbegin instituted a french-language training programme among us government personnel there, and urged americans to step up their contributions to haitian charities.
