-The world demands and waits for President Biden to reverse the hostile policy towards Cuba of his predecessor Trump.
Havana, Mar 9 (Agencies) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced today that the inclusion of the Caribbean Island in the unilateral list of the United States of countries that sponsor terrorism hinders the fight against Covid-19.
In his Twitter account, the head of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that the unjustified measure aggravates the blockade imposed by Washington on the largest of the Antilles, and prevents commercial operations to acquire supplies, equipment and medicines necessary in the confrontation with the pandemic.
Just nine days after leaving the White House, last January, then-President Donald Trump once again included Cuba on that list, in line with his aggressive conduct against the Island.
The Antillean Nation had been excluded from that group in 2015, during the process of rapprochement with the United States in the second term of Barack Obama’s term (2009-2017).
According to experts, this decision serves as a justification for the promoters of the blockade in the US Congress to hinder initiatives to relax the hostile posture, such as those implemented by Obama as of December 17, 2014.
After the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House, in 2017, the United States applied more than 200 new punitive measures against Cuba as part of the tightening of the blockade.
Voices around the world demand and await today that the current occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, reverts the hostile policy of his predecessor towards the senior Caribbean archipelago, and relations between the two neighboring countries can be normalized.
