The United States Ban on Tourism to Cuba

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the United States ban on Americans’ touring Cuba. It will begin with history of the United States tumultuous relations with Cuba over the past 60 years, then explore the specific language of the ban and the reasons presented for it. I will consider the impact of the new law on both the U.S. and Cuba. The paper will conclude with an argument for lifting the ban and returning to the policy of normalization that preexisted the declaration.
