An open letter organized by codepink calls on U.S. President Joe Biden to abandon the Trump administration's hostile posture toward the Caribbean island.
When the Obama administration certified the removal of Cuba from the State Department's blacklist in 2015, it declared that the U.S. would"continue to have differences with the Cuban government, but our concerns over a wide range of Cuba's policies and actions fall outside the criteria that is relevant to whether to rescind Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
At the start of his presidency, Biden said that Cuba's status as a so-called state sponsor of terrorism was"under review," the letter points out. "Given that removal from the list requires an inquiry into any terrorism-sponsored activity before providing a rescission request to Congress, we request that your administration immediately complete that review and initiate proceedings to remove Cuba from the list," it adds."Such a move will advance legitimate U.S. security and humanitarian interests and help the future of the Cuban people."to deliver the letter to various progressive lawmakers this week, including Sen.
