History

Answer:

He said that because Cuba was ruled by a communist government led by Comandante Fidel Castro. In the early 1960s, the Cuban revolutionary government (it had expelled USA-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista from power) nationalized numerous foreign properties and assests, many of them belonging to US companies, without indemnization.

The US government started a trade and economic embargo against the Cuban state as a reaction. After the CIA-sponsored Bay Pigs failed invasion of 1961, the Castro government became even more radical, declaring the Cuban Revolution a Communist revolution and getting close to the Soviet Union, which announced it would buy all the Cuban sugar the US had stopped importing.

How did President Theodore Roosevelt’s Big Stick policy differ from Dollar Diplomacy and Moral Diplomacy?
Blababa [14]
President Theodore Roosevelt's Big Stick Policy was to negotiate peacefully with other countries, but to "carry a big stick", meaning that the countries who you were negotiating with were aware of what could happen if there were some kind of problem. The dollar diplomacy was one used mostly by William Taft to further its aims in foreign countries by offering guaranteed loans if their commercial interests were improved. The Moral Diplomacy was a policy used by Woodrow Wilson, where he would only support countries who had analogous morals with the United States.
