The United States policy (economic sanctions) imposed on Cuba are exceptional in analysis of their prolonged existence and of their complexity however, they are steady with the actual objectives or actions of the 1st world power. For this to be explained and understood critically, it is essential to base this study on the following: the history behind the policy, impact of the policy against Cuba, effects of the policy on the united states, and uplift of the policy against Cuba and its effects on the normalization of the relationship between US and Cuba
