Democratic Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Democratic party generally supported President Obama's move to lift the trade and travel embargo on Cuba. President Obama, a Democrat, initiated the policy change in 2014, arguing that the embargo had failed to promote democracy and improve the lives of the Cuban people. Many Democrats in Congress also supported the move, citing the potential for increased trade and improved relations between the two countries.

Slightly agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

Some Democrats may have supported a more nuanced approach to lifting the embargo, such as lifting the travel embargo but maintaining trade restrictions until Cuba made progress towards democracy. This position would reflect concerns about human rights abuses in Cuba while still acknowledging the need for a new approach to US-Cuba relations. However, this was not the dominant position within the Democratic party, as most Democrats supported President Obama's move to lift both the trade and travel embargo.

Strongly disagree

No

The Democratic party generally disagreed with maintaining the trade and travel embargo on Cuba. As mentioned earlier, President Obama and many Democrats in Congress supported lifting the embargo, arguing that it had failed to achieve its goals and that a new approach was needed. However, some Democrats, particularly those representing Cuban-American communities, may have opposed lifting the embargo due to concerns about human rights abuses in Cuba.
