Answer:

They ended diplomatic relations and started the embargo

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States of America was basically forced to be a little more drastic with Cuba since Fidel had seized the American businesses. A trade embargo was imposed against Cuba on October 19, 1960. This embargo worked for everything except food and medicine. Eventually, the embargo was extended and exists until today.
