CUBA knew it would be in for a gruelling four years when Donald Trump was elected for a second term, but the speed with which his new administration escalated US economic warfare against the island was unprecedented.
In his first term, Trump waited almost four years, just as he was leaving office, to designate Cuba a “state sponsor of terrorism” (SSOT). This time, within hours of his inauguration, he returned Cuba to the US SSOT list. The Biden administration can receive no praise for the short-lived removal of Cuba from the list.
Despite election promises to undo the 243 extra punitive measures imposed by Trump, Joe Biden sat on his hands as Cubans suffered Covid-19 and the worst shortages in recent history, waiting until six days before he stood down to reverse the SSOT designation.
