Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel announced the release of 553 prisoners, with reports suggesting that this decision is linked to the Biden administration's plan to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

1. There is zero doubt in my mind that they meet all the qualifications for being a state sponsor of terrorism.

1. The world must not forget that Cuba's main opposition leaders are imprisoned, including José Daniel Ferrer García, Félix Navarro, Sayli Navarro, and Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, along with nearly a thousand people who peacefully demonstrated in 2021 and subsequent years, as well as a significant number of sick and elderly individuals.

1. It is difficult to determine why President Biden made this symbolic decision less than a week before the transition of power in Washington.
2. Perhaps the hope that there would be an improvement in the situation of political prisoners on the island convinced Biden and his advisors that it was worthwhile to ease existing restrictions on Cuba.
3. The influence of Marco Rubio and other Cuban-American politicians in the new Trump presidency will surely lead to reinstating the previous measure. It is expected that the hard-line U.S. policy toward Cuba, summarized in the expression of maximum pressure to achieve changes in the Cuban regime, will be reinforced.
