The United States should end the Cuba embargo because its 50-year policy has failed to achieve its goals. It is a relic of Cold War Era thinking. Cuba does not pose a threat to the US. It harms the US economy and harms the people of Cuba, not the government as intended. Most Americans want improved diplomatic ties and open travel and trade policies with Cuba. Cuban Americans, the people who understand the situation best, think the embargo is not working. Free trade, not the isolation of an embargo, can promote democracy in Cuba. Most of the world opposes the embargo, and maintaining it is detrimental to the reputation of the US. The embargo prevents the people of Cuba from joining the digital age by cutting them off from technology, and restricts the flow of information to the island.
