Tom, there is no embargo. The embargo is an illusion. Every European country and every Asian country trades with Cuba. Even subsidiaries of American companies trade with Cuba.
Do you know where the cell phones that they are planning to sell come from?
South Korea.
The only effect that lifting the embargo would have is to get rid of the "embargo" excuse. But the castro brothers, who are very inventive, will find other ways to blame the Yanquis for the shortcomings of their regime.
