The United States has maintained a trade embargo against Cuba since February 1962 in response to actions taken by the Cuban government. The primary idea behind an embargo of this nature is to punish to Cuban government by restricting trade with a large economy such as that of the United States, but embargos tend to have other repercussions as well. What I'd like you to do, in 300-400 words, is explain what some of these repercussions have been, who they have impacted, and briefly explain whether or not you feel that the embargo is beneficial in the year 2020.
