Keep in mind that North Korea, or the DPRK, can’t really trade except for with countries like China and the Russian Federation (and even then illegally while those two countries look the other way).
It’s literally in an embargo that’s been going on for decades now.
That too. Although, I wonder what the terms of the embargos are, and what north korea has to do on their side to appease the west and allow trade.
Oh why is this country so corrupt and backwards! Let’s put more sanctions in to restrict its trade and starve its citizens.
Western logic 😵💫
Yeah, there are virtually no terms (from what I’ve read), as the country’s leadership is seen as undemocratic and dictatorial and, therefore, the United States and its allies dictate the terms (and DPRK has to follow them) while North Korea doesn’t get a say. It is called a rogue state partly for that reason (as opposed to a country like Saudi Arabia, which has often been a staunch partner of the United States).
But we know that it has a functioning democracy at various levels; certainly no worse than most Western democracies.
Cuba tried to ask for such terms and was told no terms would be offered.
Per Blowback, Che offered to the US, in exchange for lifting the blockade:
No exporting Revolution
No military alliance with the USSR
Cuba wouldn’t / couldn’t directly pay back the US for appropriated property, but were willing to reimburse the US over time through terms of trade
Really, the only non-negotiable was that Cuba was a communist country, and would have communist governance and a communist economy. JFK thought it was a sign of weakness on Cuba’s part and turned them down.
