No, I think the sanctions came from expropriating US property without restitution.

Can the Hawaiians place similar sanctions on the US for doing the same thing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_history_of_the_United... looks like it could get... expensive.

Absolutely they can try. But who will come to their rescue when the federal government comes to impose it's opinion?

Anyone can say anyone else is bad and "take action" against it. What matters is whether the rest of the world agrees with you or not.

Note: the "US property" in question here was basically all of the agricultural land in Cuba
oh, so when are they getting back the illegally occupied Guantanamo Bay?
