The North Korea economic sanction began in 1950 through 2008, then it was put off for a short time and was reinstated by Donald Trump in 2017. The sanctions were put in place because of North Korea's nuclear weapon program and their nuclear weapon tests. The sanctions had many humanitarian effects on North Korea restricting the humanitarian agencies, and aid groups that provided a life line for millions of North Koreans. These sanctions impact the North Korean civilians more than the elites limiting access to food and medical supplies as well as fuel for cooking.

Relations steadily worsened after the 1959 revolution and Fidel Castro's ascent to power. The United States broke diplomatic ties with Cuba in January 1961 due to Castro's reforms and the government's greater collaboration with the Soviet Union.
