According to the Efe news agency on December 1, Cuba said on December 1 that the latest report of the United States was "arbitrary and unilateral", and the United States decided to re-include Cuba in the list of "state sponsors of terrorism" in the report.
"In its arbitrary and unilateral terrorism-related reports, the United States insists on defaming Cuba in order to justify its hostile economic suffocation policy, despite the fact that there are fewer and fewer arguments," Cuban Governor Bruno Rodríguez pointed out on the social media platform X. ”
According to the report, the Cuban foreign minister believes that "in the face of the heroic resistance of the Cuban people," the United States "brazenly violated the bottom line of morality and wantonly insulted and abused."
The report pointed out that the United States *** continues to include Cuba in the list of "state sponsors of terrorism" along with Syria, Iran and North Korea (Cuba was included in 2021), which means that Washington will continue to impose a series of sanctions on Cuba.
Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel insisted that the United States remove Cuba from the list, arguing that the United States' inclusion of Cuba in the list was unjustified and had serious economic repercussions for Cuba.
According to the report, in January 2021, then-US ** Trump included Cuba in this list, which was one of the last decisions he made before leaving the White House.
The United States justified this measure at the time on the grounds that there were members of the National Liberation Army (ELN), a Colombian guerrilla organization, in Cuba who had travelled to Havana to negotiate peace with Colombia.
In a report published on 30 November, the United States** reportedly concluded that "Cuba** has not officially responded to Colombia's request for the extradition of the ELN leaders Pablo Tejada and Pablo Beltrane". (Compiled by Liu Lifei).
