Answer:

U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower oversaw the first trade embargo that America imposed on Cuba.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1960, On October 19, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Department of state imposed the primary trade barrier on Cuba. The first embargo included all U.S. exports to Cuba apart from drugs and a few foods.

President John F. Kennedy extended the embargo to cover Cuba's U.S. imports and created it permanent on 7th of Feb, 1962. Though relations between the 2 countries still warm, the embargo remains in place and an act of Congress is needed to get rid of it.
