How did the U.S. respond to Castro taking over American businesses located in Cuba after the revolution? America broke off diplomatic relations. It imposed a trade embargo against Cuba. The U.S. initiated a military quarantine. It took over Cuban companies in America.

The correct answer is “It imposed a trade embargo against Cuba.”

When the Cuban revolution started, Fidel Castro rose to power and established a revolutionary socialist state, in 1960 Fidel Castro nationalized all foreign assets in Cuba and the US president Eisenhower retaliated by slashing the import quota for Cuban sugar and freezing Cuban assets in the US.Later, during the JFK presidency, a full embargo was imposed, it prohibited all trade.
