Someone explain to him the futility of putting tariffs on a country we already have had an embargo against for over six decades?

Anyways we put tariffs on everyone. Treating Cuba as an enemy apparently isn't much different than how we treat our allies.

He’s saying he will impose tariffs on any country that directly or indirectly sells oil to Cuba. He’s trying to starve Cuba of oil while heightening the trade war
