Remove the trade embargo against cuba

Created by J.K. on December 04, 2014

The Cuban embargo has been in place for over 50 years, it is time to end it. Here are 6 reasons summarized from procon.org:

1。The United States should end the Cuba embargo because its 50-year policy has failed to achieve its goals.

2。The embargo is a relic of Cold War Era thinking and is unnecessary because Cuba does not pose a threat to the United States.

3。The embargo harms the US economy.

4。The embargo harms the people of Cuba, not the government as intended.

5。The United States should not have different trading and travel policies for Cuba than for other countries with governments or policies it opposes.

6。It is hypocritical for the US government to promote democracy by prohibiting Americans from traveling there.
