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.
In: Economics
Most folks here are giving reasons why the embargo was placed in the first place. It’s not worked. The reason it’s still in place is the electoral college. Florida is a swing state. A presidential candidate telling a large number of Cuban exiles in Miami-Dade county that they will lift the embargo is not a recipe for electoral success.
