Answer:

explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cuban embargo, known as el bloqueo (the blockade), was one that happened due to Cuba’s expropriation of “some $1.8 billion worth of U.S.-owned property. The US put policies in place to restrict the way other countries engage in businesses with Cuba.

As the embargo continued to affect the people of Cuba, it also cost the US far more than expected. Certain reports has it that the US has lost nearly all its international support for the embargo. The cost of the embargo on the economy of the US was around $130 billion over nearly six decades.
