There is nothing but a US embargo on the repressive Cuban regime.

Companies and countries are free to do whatever business they care to with Cuba. Many, many do. Most don't, because they would rather do business with nations that embrace real democracy.

Cuba can get anything they want, if they are willing to pay for it. They won't, so they don't.
