Beyond the Embargo: A Toolkit for Squeezing the Cuban Regime

The long-standing U.S. embargo on Cuba has long been criticized as ineffective, often cited as evidence that sanctions don’t work. However, a new toolkit from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies suggests ways to tighten the noose on the Cuban regime, emphasizing more targeted measures beyond the existing embargo. This move reflects a shift in strategy, aiming to pressure the Cuban government more directly, potentially impacting human rights and economic conditions on the island. It’s a critical discussion given the complex geopolitical dynamics and the long-standing U.S. policy towards Cuba.
