US President Joe Biden to remove Cuba from state sponsors of terrorism list
ai generated text
President Biden has notified Congress of his intent to lift Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, a move brokered by the Catholic Church to release political prisoners. This decision aims to normalize relations between the US and Cuba, which have been strained due to economic pressure. However, it remains uncertain if President-elect Trump, who reinstated the terror designation in 2021, will reverse this decision. The move is seen as symbolic, with its lasting impact on US-Cuba relations unclear.
It is vitally important that the sanctions against Cuba are lifted and that Cuba is taken off the list of state sponsors of terror. We are convinced that it isn't one.
If left unaddressed, the crisis will almost certainly fuel increased migration, strain U.S. border management systems, and fully destabilize the already-strained Caribbean region.
Cuba should have never been included in arbitrary list of State sponsors of terrorism.
That was an arbitrary and politically motivated designation with very severe impact on the Cuban population, damaging economy, causing scarcities and encouraging migration to US.
While this is clearly welcome, I think we can expect the new Trump administration to look to reimpose the designation as fast as they can. But that will probably take some time and there's not a total guarantee they'll be able to do it.
That said, I can't honestly see any banks changing their business practices and I think they'll still exclude Cuba.
We don't have to be imprisoned by the past.
An assessment has been completed, and we do not have information that supports Cuba's designation as being a state sponsor of terrorism.
Whether Venezuela last year or now Cuba, the Biden administration seems to love fake deals that favor authoritarian anti-American regimes.
I'll be working with President Trump on DAY ONE to hold the Communist Cuban regime accountable and free the Cuban people.
