end the Cuban Trade Embargo and reestablish formal diplomacy.

Created by J.R. on February 15, 2013

The lift of this unreasonable sanction would prove beneficial to both both countries. First and for most, re-establishing free trade between these two countries would promote democracy in Cuba. It could also help establish a larger private sector and in return help Cuban citizens directly in an economical sense. The embargo also dampens the U.S economy. If the embargo were lifted, it would create around 6,000 American jobs, and generate around 1.2 billion to 4.8 billion dollars in annual revenue in sales of exports. The same exact thing could also happen with Cuba. The situation has turned into a global opinion as well. In fact, most of the world opposes the embargo. Starting in 1991, the UN has officially denounced the embargo. It is time for change for the well being of both countries.
