This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans\u2019 right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba\u2019s current crisis. Since 1962, the United States has forced pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine and supplies, costing the tiny island nation an estimated $130 billion.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Without that money, it is harder for Cuba to acquire medical equipment needed to develop its own COVID-19 vaccines and equipment for food production. This comes in spite of the country\u2019s strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to disasters around the world.&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination.
