After the Spanish/American War of 1898 a Lease Deal between Cuba and the United States was made. In 1903 Cuba allowed the United States to rent Guantanamo Bay, and surrounding areas for the amount of only $2,000 per year. The lease period is forever as long as the U.S. makes the annual payment. Since Fidel Castro took power in 1959. he has refused to cash any of the rent checks. Although Guantanamo Bay is not a territory of the United States. it is a U.S. Military Base and is defended in the same manner as all U.S. Military Bases around the world.

Why would there be an embargo on trade between the US and Cuba?
At the time of the communist revolution in Cuba, Castro nationalized all the American property in Cuba (not counting the Guantanamo Bay naval base), which is to say, he seized it for the Cuban government and did not pay for it. The US is holding a grudge about this. Aside from that, Cuba has been hostile toward the US throughout the Cold War period, and always opposed anything the US was trying to do. Relations between the two countries are very bad.
