This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.

You don't think trade with the world's biggest economy and closest physical neighbor would have much of anmeffect?

not saying trade wont have an effect, its just definitely on one side, it would be minimal, and Cuba for sure would benefit (heavily) from not having import restrictions. Relationships between the twp countries at least immediately, would not change.

Right.

That said, Cuba doesn't really have import restriction, it's the US has export restrictions.

Not exactly.

Any ship that docks in Cuba is barred entry to US ports in the next 180 days.

The US can also sanction foriegn companies that trade with Cuba.

It's not a blockade but it has a chilling effect on trade.
