Why Defenders of the Embargo Must Shift Now
For decades, the embargo on Cuba has been defended as a pressure tool. But in today’s multipolar world, that tool is no longer effective—it’s costly. Costly in lost markets, lost influence, and lost time.
While China, the EU, Russia, and South Korea invest freely, the U.S. remains absent from energy, biotech, ports, tourism, and logistics—all sectors reshaping the Caribbean’s economic map.
While China, the EU, Canada, “the United States’ own strategic allies”, Russia, South Korea, and others invest freely, the United States remains absent from the energy, biotechnology, ports, tourism, and logistics sectors, all of which are transforming the Caribbean's economic landscape.
Those who defend the embargo may feel they’re upholding principle. But in truth, they’re blocking their own relevance. Each year, the U.S. loses more ground, and the nations stepping in will not step aside.
Maintaining the embargo is not a show of strength. It’s an erosion of power.
Changing positions today is not surrender, its strategy. It’s the only way for current stakeholders to retain influence and even benefit from the inevitable opening.
History is moving. The window is closing.
Those who don’t pivot now won’t be players in what comes next.
