Details
It is noted that Biden made the decision to exclude Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism less than a week ago – on January 15.
It was part of a deal with the Catholic Church in which Havana agreed to release 553 political prisoners, including Cubans imprisoned during the crackdown on mass protests in 2021.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized Trump’s decision, saying that he “showed arrogance and contempt for the truth.”
According to him, the economic blockade measures implemented by Trump only increase the migration flow from Cuba to the United States.
We will remind
It will be recalled that only last week it was reported that the administration of former US President Joe Biden plans to exclude Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. This happened as part of an agreement concluded with the assistance of the Catholic Church regarding the release of political prisoners on the island.
