The Importance Of Opposing The Cuban Embargo
February 3, 1962, the United States imposed an embargo against Cuba. President John F. Kennedy established this embargo to reduce “the threat posed by its alignment with the communist powers.” The embargo prevents trade between the two countries and would hopefully encourage Cuba to take steps toward “democratization and greater respect for human rights.”
However, the present day question regarding this issue after all these years is whether the embargo should be lifted. There is a tremendous market in Cuba for parts of the United States and people are starting to wonder is the loss of economic frontier and opportunity worth continuing an old relic of the great country’s pride. Arkansas, in particular has a valuable stake in the argument.
