Fidel Castro had a stroke and is near vegetative state

Hmm... @El Kabong , apparently you only answer questions with a graph attached.
Here's a neat one for you. Maybe now you'll answer my twice-asked question.

Am I missing something? What happened in 1990?

Well I'm taking into consideration the fall of the Soviet Union as a factor. One could argue that the embargo was needed on Cuba while there still was a chance, however slim, that Castro would again cooperate with the USSR on something that could be a threat to the U.S. I'm thinking that threat went away with the demise of the USSR. My point is that the usefulness of the U.S. embargo on Cuba has long outlived its purpose... and has only brought unneeded suffering on the people of Cuba.
