Republicans have already said they will reverse Biden’s decision, which they called unacceptable, noting that terrorism sponsored by the Cuban regime has not stopped.
The administration of current US President Joe Biden plans to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. This will happen as part of a deal brokered by the Catholic Church to free political prisoners on the island. The Associated Press reported this on Tuesday, January 14.
“The assessment has been completed and we have no information to support Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism,” a Biden administration source said.
US authorities may make a corresponding announcement on January 14.
At the same time, AP notes that Cuba may return to this list next week after the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump.
Donald Trump famously designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism shortly before he left office in January 2021, five years after President Barack Obama removed it from the list.
Trump’s choice for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is Cuban-American and promotes a tough policy toward Cuba. Mauricio Claver-Carone – the architect of Trump’s tough Latin American policies in his first administration – has been selected as special envoy to Latin America.
We remind you that American law enforcement officials detained former US Ambassador to Bolivia Manuel Rocha for working for the Cuban government.
