america is butthurt that cuba overthrew a us installed dictator (albiet the communists are not that much better) and they've been pouting for over 50 years by restricting trade to food, medicine, and basic essentials. countries have to follow this if they want to do business with the international world because the usa controls the main financial systems. if there's a whiff of someone not agreeing with the sanctions then us financial companies immediately stop doing business with them   but it's ok to trade with china, vietnam, cambodia, right? cubans haven't been a threat in years, this is just a grudge the us holds. one of the few good things obama did good was normalize relations with them, and then trump went ahead and shat on it all.
