Abstract
For a comprehensive understanding, one as close to reality as possible, of the U.S.-Cuban relations it is necessary to study in detail the conceptual foundations and historical background of the U.S. foreign policy towards the Latin American region in general, and towards Cuba in particular. To this end, the author offers a retrospective overview of the U.S. policy in interaction with the Cuban state, taking as a starting point the very formation of the United States as a state from thirteen original colonies. The origins of the U.S.-Cuban interaction, the context of the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, as well as the political motivation of American leaders, both Democratic and Republican, in the context of building relations with Cuba are examined. The political decisions of the U.S. leadership regarding Cuba are immersed into the global dynamics of world political processes and the positioning of the U.S. in the international arena in different periods. Building the sequence of the U.S. relations with the island the author comes to the conclusion that the dialogue with Cuba has always been from the position of force, and it is proven in the article that such approach, often accompanied by unfair destructive actions, remained in place even in the moment of warming, namely during the restoration of relations with Cuba in the years of Barack Obama’s presidency. The author is convinced that the solution of the conflict between the two countries will be realistically possible only when the U.S. government fully recognizes Cuba’s sovereignty and ambitions to be more actively involved in the regional and international agenda.

Summary
Para una comprensión integral y más cercana a la realidad de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y Cuba, es necesario estudiar en detalle los fundamentos conceptuales y los antecedentes históricos de la política exterior de los Estados Unidos con respecto a la región latinoamericana en general y Cuba en particular. El autor propone una revisión retrospectiva del curso político estadounidense en interacción con el estado cubano, tomando como punto de partida las 13 colonias que inicialmente conformaron Estados Unidos. Se estudia los orígenes de la interacción entre Estados Unidos y Cuba, el contexto de la victoria de la revolución cubana en 1959, y se analiza la motivación política de los líderes estadounidenses representantes de los partidos demócrata y republicano, en el contexto de la construcción de relaciones con Cuba. El autor sostiene que la solución del conflicto entre los dos países solo será realmente posible cuando el gobierno de los Estados Unidos reconozca plenamente la soberanía de Cuba y sus ambiciones de participar más activamente en la agenda regional e internacional.
