Why is the US still sanctioning Cuba?

- The US imposed a severe embargo on Cuba after the Revolution in 1959, aiming to overthrow the Communist regime. The policy had a significantly negative impact on the Cuban population, causing the continued impoverishment of the only communist country in the Western Hemisphere. The isolation persisted until 2016 when former President Obama made a historic visit to the Cuban capital. Obama’s term saw a notable improvement in bilateral relations, marked by the lifting of US travel restrictions, the reopening of embassies, and the removal of Cuba from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. However, this normalisation, referred to as the Cuban thaw, was halted during Donald Trump’s presidency. Trump reinstated the embargo and placed Havana back on the list. Despite President Biden’s pledge to return to Obama’s approach, he has only slightly eased restrictions, leaving many of his campaign promises regarding Cuba unfulfilled. So, why is President Biden reluctant to normalise ties with Havana, and with the election looming in the US, what could this mean for Cuba’s future?

To make an example to other little islands around, the so called common wealth for the rich not the poor.
No more slavery and that's what Cuba practices, all Cuban citizens are slaves in communism is the master.
Why does Cuba import Mercedes Benz but not enough food to feed the Cubans ?
Where did you get that info? Out of your penile filled colon?
Cuba will eventually be free, no matter what the American predators do. Natural laws will continue to govern human existence. Patience will reward the Cuban people. VIVA CUBA!!! Anti-communism is undemocratic.
Undemocratic is communism the people of Cuba never had free election, with the ability to choose no one will ever choose communism a cancer that only takes and destroys "Viva Cuba libre" F Communism.
remember that vietnam was never an existential threat to the US. Cuba was because of the cuban missiles crisis in 1963. US will never normalize relationship until the communist party is gone.
What a waste....Cuba can and will be a free country, with free interpraise soon!
is possible to end the whole Cuban Embargo and open an new era of trade and commerce between America and Cuba.Robertps In Ecuador we have an small Cuban community.

"Cuba has intervened actively in many parts of the world......"
Errrr...
"USA has intervened actively in many parts of the world......"
.
What's the difference?
Lesson? Little islands shouldn't bite the hands that feed them. Island countries have unstable economies if not attached to their closest mainland. Cuba picked a country thousands of miles away to align with. Stupid!
Excellent Host Andrea!❤ Very nice Presentation!!! As always 😁 good job RUclips! Keep it up. Very well prepared and narrated by Andrea!!❤!!
She sucks and deceives.
To make an example to other little islands NOT to nationalize American businesses and properties.
I am agree embargo needs to be removed .
It's working Cuba can import from different parts of the world.
Canada should have bought them
For the same reason that just happened a few weeks ago. Allowing Russia to come into their ports with a nuclear submarine
Wait until the Chinese ships start arriving! 😉
