On more than 30 occasions, the United Nations Assembly has discussed the blockade against Cuba, which costs the island 5 billion dollars annually, according to some estimates. Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

    Why shouldn’t a country be able to decide not to trade with another country?

      You are correct but the question was … why should a country prevent another country from being able to freely trade with every other country.

        1. This isn’t happening in Cuba.
        2. It’s an extension from a countries ability to decide who it trades with. Lots of secondary sanctions on companies doing business with Russia, they have to pick a side.

        Every country has trade relations with everyone else. When you form pacts with other people you have to agree on terms together.
