Should it really matter that we get cheaper goods from china? Aren’t they still defines as a communist country? What about Cuba? Why don’t we get goods from them?
“Before the communist Castro regime took power in Cuba, the United States was Cuba’s largest trading partner. Cuba was the largest tourist destination for Americans in the Caribbean. The two nations had very close economic ties. The United States exported a great deal of value added and manufactured goods to Cuba in exchange for the exportation of Cuban sugar, rum, and tobacco, all of which were (and to some degree, still are) highly desired in the United States.”

The U.S has practically crippled Cuba because it does not trade with it. The U.S. is the largest trading power of the west and to not trade with it makes a countries economy crash. If the U.S. were to lighten up a bit we cold have cheaper sugar (the average bag of sugar in New York is $3.29), or we can take a nice holiday in the worm beaches of Cuba.
Another reason the U.S. has to lighten up is because during hurricane Katrina Cuba offered 1500 bilingual doctors and the U.S. said no.
