Why is there still an embargo against Cuba.

So this is coming from an Englishman so I may be missing some context an American might know. I have recently booked a holiday to Cuba and it got me thinking about why USA still has an embargo against Cuba when they deal with much worse countries than Cuba.

A lot of people have a lot of opinions on this, but if you want the “official” answer, Cuba tried to force American owned oil refineries to buy Soviet crude. When they refused and bought American instead, they were nationalized. The US government embargoed them until the property was returned. 

It hasn’t been returned.
