    It is illegal lol. An embargo is not “we don’t trade with you”. An embargo is “no one is allowed to trade with you and we’ll turn their economies and their ships into shambles if they do”.

      No it isn not illegal and you’ll have difficulty proving that like others have.

      We are embargoing Cuba yet most of the EU trades with them so it really sounds like you don’t know what embargoes are.

      For example Havana Club rum is sold throughout Europe and Europeans can spend money in Cuba without reprisal. What they can’t do as per our agreements is sell them arms.
