An embargo was placed on Cuba on February 1962 by the United States. This embargo prevents trade from entering and leaving Cuba, leading their economy down the drain, thus affecting its citizens.

Biopower and biopolitics tie into the topic as the UN has to vote annually to end the embargo, however countries like the U.S. and Israel (pro-U.S.) vote against it, leading to the continuation of the embargo. This decision has so much power over the lives of Cubans. This was highlighted especially during the pandemic when the U.S. stopped the supply of medical items to Cuba.
