Every president since Kennedy has thought the exact same thing.

Yes, but he is 85 years old, well beyond the average life expectancy of men in even the most developed countries like Japan, and even if he makes it into the centenarian club, that still leaves him dead at the latest in 20 years. He's not some kind of God or vampire, he's going to die. He's freaking old, so it's going to be relatively soon.
As to your first question, I already pointed out that the lawsuit is being filed by the company owned by the Cuban government, Habanos S.A. which is in turn partially owned by a foreign company, Altadis, that has no obligation not to trade with them, but which also has legitimate interests in the U.S due to its umbrella corporation, Imperial Tobacco. So, the lawyer is not representing the Cuban government directly but rather the aforementioned corporations, and should thus be clear of that law.
