The US is explicitly not letting Cuba buy US goods, that's literally the only thing it's doing.
- dgacmu 5mo agoAs noted above: The US is threatening tariffs on any nation that sells oil to Cuba. That's quite different from simply refusing to trade with it, it's effectively preventing Cuba from buying oil from Mexico, among other sources.

It's all even more cynical and hypocritical when compared to the strait of Hormuz debacle, how can the US pretend that Iran must allow oil tankers unobstructed passage (international laws, ships at sea bla bla bla) when the US is deliberately preventing oil ships to travel to Cuba.

- palmotea 5mo ago> And blockading Venezuelan oil from reaching the island. Don't forget that part. Is the new Venezuelan leader still trying to send Cuba oil? Or has she stopped that?
- dpark 5mo agoShockingly they stopped sending oil after the US deposed their leadership and told them they better stop now “or else”.
