Yeah, food which can only be traded for with cash. Which is in short supply because there are some sort of restrictions on Cuba’s ability to trade commodities and raw resources for cash.
If it’s purely because they don’t have much worth trading then why not lift the embargo and give them access to world trade, banks, and resources again? What’s the harm?
The US embargo also affects other countries. They don’t let ships dock at Cuba and then the US, for example. The reason they get oil from Venezuela is because they’re also iced out of much of the world market by US through sanctions.
Also, the US is 80 miles off the coast of Cuba and huge. Them not being available to trade with Cuba is a huge disadvantage.
I wonder if there’s anything different that would cause it to be harder for them to import things.
It couldn’t be a trade issue with one of the biggest milk exporters I’m sure

Communist countries don’t handle these things well.

Yup. You don’t want to tell the young socialists here about Cuban ration books, it might destroy their fantasies
