WHEN Joe Biden was running for president four years ago, he promised to reverse the 243 extra sanctions imposed against Cuba by the Trump administration. To his shame, as his term comes to an end, almost all are still in place.
Most damaging to the Cuban economy and the daily lives of the Cuban people is the continued designation of Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism” (SSOT). Keeping Cuba on this spurious US list is immoral, vindictive and politically motivated, with devastating economic and social consequences.
Contract cancellations, loss of ties with banks that have worked with Cuba for years, delays in sending and receiving funds, medicines, materials, fuel, spare parts … are just some of the difficulties that Cuba has faced and is facing. The costs to the Cuban economy and people are incalculable.
