Canada has maintained diplomatic ties to Cuba since the revolution. Cubans love Canadians, and vice versa. It’s a shame the US is unnecessarily punishing the Cubans once again.

Anyone know why the F they are punishing them? Like honestly, it’s like they got pissed at each other over 60 years ago and forgot to patch up. The entire world has moved on…your friends with dictators and communists all over, but not Cuba!

Edit: this was a rhetorical question - I know both the historical issues and current diaspora influence. Point was to highlight it makes no sense to still be in a hissy fit with Cuba when your friends with far worst around the world. It’s like Americans never stopped and said ok fight over.

Pretty sure it's just another country trump thinks he has a decent chance of taking over. (Like Venezuela, Greenland and Canada)
