WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Friday formally removed Cuba from a U.S. terrorism blacklist as part of the process of normalizing relations between the Cold War foes.
Isn't it funny how we trade with countries that are much more hostile with us and have much worse human rights violations, yet we continue to embargo Cuba.
My guess is that if Cuba did a better job lobbying US companies to provide cheap labor, suddenly, they would be ok to trade with again.

When it comes to politics, follow the money.
Agree. But they also have a strong pro-embargo lobby in south florida.
However, it should be noted that the subset of Cubans in Florida who vote in Republican primaries are pro-embargo - those who support lifting it skew Democratic. This result keeps Republicans toeing the pro-embargo line, for if you don't win your primary you don't even have a chance in a general election.
And that's how the minority of Cubans who support the embargo manage to project their political influence.
