def main reason lol. the US NEEDS china for the treats. The only thing americans miss about cuba is cigars.
tbf i don't think the us is trying to kill miguel diaz-canel either. probably has to do with the fact that assassination isn't generally super useful, at least not against established, stable nations
The empire is too greedy for even short-term profit, why make someone a martyr when you can martyr and occupy entire country to exploit forever? It was actually one of the reasons Cuba moved on to imprisonment post-revolution, because making your class enemies martyr unite them. Cuban revolutionaries used to just line class enemies against the wall. It was a little disagreement between Fidel and Che on execution because Fidel wanted to spare noncombatant enemies but Che said line them up.
It was personal with Castro, he played the worst cold war ghouls in washington like a fiddle and won.
