What did the US hope to gain by putting embargo on Cuba?

When JFK began the embargo of Cuba he was dealing with a situation of the USSR placing missiles on Cuba. This is 90 miles from the American coast, so his purpose was to stop the Russian ships from coming and going out of Cuba. Literally American Navy ships surrounded Cuba until the missiles were removed. The relationship with Castro didn't improve so the embargo stayed in place. In the post war WW2 philosophy of containing communist aggression Cuba was included in the list of communist countries. Has been communist for 60 years ever since Castro overthrew the government.


There are rumors that the Castro Regime is supporting the Assad Regime if that's true then how can we get the Cuban Government to stop?

Cuba is not financially supporting Assad, the "support" is ideological. Cuba is simply choosing to stand with Iran and Assad because doing so puts them in an Anti-American coalition and Cuba harbors antipathy towards the US because of the US support for Batista, attempts to overthrow the Castro government, and the embargo which was only recently dropped. Since Cuba's support is non-monetary, it makes little sense to push this issue in negotiations, primarily since the US and Cuba have many larger issues that they need to deal with as regards normalizing relations.
