Remove the embargo on Cuban goods.

Created by L.S. on March 20, 2014

The US embargo against Cuba is an outdated relic from the Cold War. After more than 50 years, the original goals of the embargo have not been reached, and the Cuban economy has been thriving regardless of the United States' lack of participation in Cuba's foreign commerce. Lifting the embargo will reduce friction between Cuba and the US, as well as improve international opinion on the US's foreign policies. Economic sanctions against Cuba have also resulted in unnecessary and dangerous immigration to America, something that ending the embargo would decrease. With better information about what the United States has to offer to Cuban immigrants, Cubans would be better equipped to make informed choices towards the US. Ending the embargo would improve and enrich lives for both countries.
