THE Biden administration’s decision to remove Cuba from the US’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list is welcome, but it comes four years too late and critically does nothing to end the 63-year blockade — the fundamental cause of shortages and hardship for the Cuban people.
In January 2021, Donald Trump used the final days of his presidency to spuriously designate Cuba as an SSOT — a listing which has cost the Cuban people dearly.
As a consequence, international banks refused to do business with Cuba, exacerbating existing shortages in food, fuel and medicines and contributing to the current humanitarian crisis.
