In a significant policy shift, the Biden administration has officially removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, reversing a decision made by the Trump administration. This move, which has elicited a mixture of praise and condemnation, is seen as a step toward easing tensions and could lead to the release of over 550 prisoners in Cuba as part of negotiations involving the Vatican. Critics, however, have expressed their outrage, labeling the decision as reckless and unacceptable, showcasing the ongoing bipartisan divide over U.S. policy toward Cuba. Despite this progress, the longstanding economic blockade remains in place, prompting further calls for a more comprehensive reform of U.S.-Cuba relations.
