    The U.S. embargo is not lifted because the Cuban-American community mainly living in South Florida and New Jersey are opposed, and neither Republicans nor Democrats are willing to risk offending the Cuban vote. Cubans get any American product they want with American trading partners like: Canada, Spain, France, Venezuela, and a whole host of others…It is we who are hurt, not the Cubans.
