Assessment
3. Today, Cuba suffers a severe shortage of vital supplies,
largely due to the U.S. trade embargo that has lasted for
almost 40 years. Do you think the United States should lift
that embargo? Why or why not? THINK ABOUT

• prior U.S. conflicts with Cuba
• human suffering
ANSWER
Possible

Lift embargo—Cuba is no longer receiving aid from the
Soviets; all Cubans—not only those who agree with
Castro—are suffering.
Retain embargo—Castro is still a threat to U.S.
security; eventually embargo may cause the fall of the
Communist regime.

was becoming a power that could not be ignored.
Unwise—By meeting with officials in China and the
Soviet Union, Nixon was condoning communism and
undermining efforts to contain it.
