how was the relationsip between the us and cuba in 1960?
Cuba
It is extremely strained.
Spanish-American War
Fidel Castro came to power.
The Spanish-American War and the Sinking of the Maine
The United States and Cuba were no longer allies after the Spanish American War. Today, Puerto Rico is still a US territory and they maintain a peaceful relationship.
The United States has had a trade embargo in place against Cuba since Fidel Castro took power over 50 years ago.
Although the United States still has no official diplomatic relations with Cuba, things have improved a bit since the early 1960s. We have begun to allow limited business dealings along with some travel to Cuba.
As of August 2016, Cuba and the United States have a difficult relationship but are moving closer to normalization.
There are no herbs imported to the US from Cuba. The US does not trade with Cuba.
The two countries do not really have relations. Under the Obama presidency, some ties have been restored between the US and Cuba, but the two countries continue to view each other with suspicion and distrust.
