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
There is a strong debate about this politically it is not something all Americans agree on.
Long story short: conservatives and the voting block they court of Cuban exiles have made hating Cuba part of their identity and political slate.
If we could overcome the conservatives we would normalize relations with Cuba. But trying to do so motivates conservatives so it’s an uphill battle. And we already have a lot of important ones.
