Cuba: trade, investment and embargo

16:59 08/04/2008

The U.S. began its embargo against Cuba in 1962, three years after the Cuban revolution, which brought Fidel Castro to power. Since Washington allowed food to begin being sold to Cuba in 2001 as an exception to the embargo imposed against Fidel Castro's regime, the country has imported 7.8 million metric tons of agricultural products from the U.S., hitting a total of $2 billion.
