Has nothing to do with sanctions. Cuba is free to trade with all kinds of other countries. Their problem is that it is a communist country where the average income is about 50 dollars a month. They have the same climate as DR and the DR only imports about 20% of their food supply, Cuba is the opposite. Modern agriculture is obsolete in Cuba because their is no profit to be made. Government buys the food and stocks the shelves that is why there is no Kroger or Publix.No doubt the lack of food products in Cuba has a lot to do with the 60 years of US sanctions.
Old Joe continues those deadly sanctions on all the made up enemies of the empire, just as dumb Don did. Yet another example of how Joe and Don are very much alike.
You’re not informed. Get informed.

PS. China is a communist nation. They have plenty of food. BOOM…there goes your silly argument.
Calling China a "communist nation," is sort of a misnomer at this point.
It is a one-party, dirigistic state, where the party makes unilateral decisions about which industries to nationalize, and which ones to privatize.
It is the first fully functioning technocracy.
True. However their government is communist and has been for a long time.
You will get no argument from me that communism has failed in numerous places. However the OP fails to recognize or even be aware of the harmful affects of US sanctions on Cuba. Secondly, the preponderance of nations in the world follow some form of capitalism. Yet, we have billions of people living in poverty. So, capitalism isn’t all that great.
The claim that Capitalism isn't all that great begs the question...what is better? Capitalism has produced a higher standard of living for billions of people.
