If the people running the empire were actually smart they'd try to improve America's relationship with Cuba to keep them away from China. They'll be doing naval exercises with Vietnam before too long so it's not like they're too proud.
*Cuba should of course not let itself become an American pawn but they'd benefit immensely from the embargo being lifted at least.
It's in place almost purely because of the old right wing cubans in Florida. That's the only part of the country that cares in any way which would swing an election.
The general Cuban-American attitude toward the embargo, especially among people who immigrated from the 80s onward and their children, are not as hard line as it's made out to be. Most Cuban immigrants after the 60s are better described as economic migrants than political exiles, but the public-facing leadership of the community that has the politician's ears is dominated by gusanos. Biden could lean on Cuban-Americans, especially in the business community (🤢), who desire more open relations with the island.
