Protectionism

Strongly agree

No

Protectionism would generally support maintaining trade barriers, such as the embargo on Cuba, to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. By keeping the embargo in place, protectionists believe that domestic industries will be better able to compete and thrive without the added pressure of Cuban goods entering the market. A historical example of protectionism supporting trade barriers is the United States' implementation of the Tariff of Abominations in 1828, which sought to protect domestic industries from foreign competition.

Agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

While protectionism would generally support maintaining trade barriers, this answer suggests a compromise by lifting the travel embargo but not allowing trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic. This stance may be seen as a more moderate form of protectionism, as it still seeks to protect domestic industries from foreign competition but acknowledges the potential benefits of increased travel and diplomacy. An example of a similar compromise is the United States' decision to grant China Most Favored Nation status in 2000, which opened up trade but still maintained some restrictions due to human rights concerns.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Protectionism generally opposes lifting trade barriers, as it seeks to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Lifting the embargo on Cuba would open up trade and potentially harm domestic industries that would now have to compete with Cuban goods. Historically, protectionist policies have been implemented to shield domestic industries from foreign competition, such as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 in the United States.
