President Biden has announced that the U.S. will remove Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism. This decision is part of an agreement, facilitated by the Catholic Church, where Cuba agreed to release 553 political prisoners, but their nationalities have not been specified in the reports.
While the deal has been widely regarded as a diplomatic breakthrough, it has sparked criticism from Republican lawmakers, who argue that the move could be easily reversed by a future administration. The agreement marks an important moment in U.S.-Cuba relations, with potential implications for regional diplomacy and human rights though its long-term impact remains to be seen amid political tensions in both countries.
