ABSTRACT

This article is a bibliographic review aiming to show evidence of the repercussions of Cuba’s economic opening with the United States from the International Relations perspective. A qualitative approach was applied in which the analytical method was used through a documentary-bibliographic cross-sectional review. The research identifies a rupture in diplomatic and trade relations between Cuba and the United States affecting the dynamics of inter-American international relations. It concludes that despite the agreement in 2014 between Washington and Havana, the Trump’s government kept several acts of hostility that negatively affect this agreement; therefore, cooperation opportunities should be sought to improve bilateral relations.
