In the video “Obama Cuba Speech: End of the Embargo”, Obama discusses the end of the embargo between the U.S and the revival of their relationship that they had lost in the last 50 years. With this change, there are more opportunities for American and Cuban People. He talks about the many issues that Cuba and America has had since Fidel Castro took over the Cuban government.

He discusses the Spanish and American war, which put America in the control of Cuba, later in history there was the Cuban revolution, which leads to the U.S having trade restrictions, and embargos because they did not want to have a relationship with a country with a communist government. With these facts, there are still people who are against the ending of the Cuban embargo. In the video, “Continue Cuban Embargo Because Communism!”, Josh Bernstein, is against the ending of the Cuban Embargo.

I think that his concern with the Cuban regime and the human rights of Cuban people have more so to do with the past than what exactly is happening now. Since the president Fidel Castro, was replaced by his brother Raul Castro, there have been many efforts to change Cuba for the better. It may take some time, but they are continuing to develop and grow into a better
