The United States has a trade embargo with Cuba. The embargo technically prohibits all US tourism to the island

“The restrictions on tourism travel are common-sense measures meant to prevent US dollars from supporting a murderous regime that opposes US security interests at every turn and which ruthlessly suppresses the most basic liberties of speech, assembly and belief.

The trade embargo has been in place for 53 years
