I have to wonder, last time I checked Canada is a sovereign country, why can trump dictate who we can help and who we can not. My opinion: we should help the Cuban People as much as we can and give the Trumpsters the middle finger salute.

I mean, sanctions and blockaids are an important method of diplomacy (as an alternative to war). It worked for ending South African Apartheid.

But the UN has overwhelmingly voted to end the blockaid on Cuba.

In conclusion: sovereignty doesn't make you higher than the UN. But it does make you higher than one country's deranged fascist leader.

I agree but when the bully that gets away with everything makes a demand they should not be appeased. Personally I'd never want to do what they asked even just out of spite, but if taking a country into consideration then I see why concessions are made. It can only last so long though.
