Over the past few decades, the United States has imposed economic and political sanctions on several Latin American countries, including Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. These sanctions have ranged from trade restrictions and asset freezes to travel bans and financial limitations aimed at government officials and entities. While the stated goals are usually to pressure regimes accused of human rights violations, corruption, or undemocratic practices, the broader consequences for the civilian populations are often a topic of heated debate.
In the case of Cuba, U.S. sanctions date back to the early 1960s and have been reinforced and relaxed at different points in time, depending on the administration in power. In Venezuela, sanctions were expanded under both the Obama and Trump administrations, targeting oil exports and financial transactions in response to political repression and economic mismanagement. Nicaragua has also faced targeted sanctions, particularly after the 2018 crackdown on protests.
Critics argue that such sanctions often worsen economic hardship for ordinary people, while supporters believe they are necessary tools to promote democracy and accountability.

What’s your take on the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions in Latin America? Do you believe they lead to political change, or do they end up harming the populations more than the regimes?

I dont know all the implications of sanctions. I will tell you in the long run I am selfish. If my groceries for my family are more expensive I'm against it

This will give 'em reasons for a civil war. This will only mean a future profit for the U.S.
