World Rejects Cuba's Inclusion in Illegitimate U.S. List

The United States has arrogated to itself the right to issue an annual list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism, a list that is totally manipulated, rejected by the entire world and not recognized by any international authority.

Washington includes at will nations that do not submit to its demands and tries to justify the application of coercive economic measures, as in the case of Cuba, which paradoxically has been the victim for decades of terrorist actions organized and financed by successive US governments or by individuals based in the northern country.

Since 1982, the Greater of the Antilles remained on this arbitrary list until 2015, when the then President Barack Obama decided to remove it. But his successor in the White House, Republican Donald Trump, decided to reinstate it at the end of his term.

From that moment on, there has been no end to the worldwide demand to exclude the United States from this false relationship, which reinforces the economic suffocation of the United States against the Cuban people, already the object of an inhumane blockade that Trump has intensified in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic.

Every day, more and more voices are calling on the current tenant of the Oval Office, Democrat Joe Biden, to fulfill his electoral promise to change the policy towards Cuba and remove it from the spurious list.

According to the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, almost fifty governments of the world have so far condemned the Caribbean country's perpetuation of the illegitimate relationship.

International personalities, movements, organizations and institutions have joined this condemnation, denouncing the consequences of this arbitrary decision for the Cuban nation and families, such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which in recent days sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, urging the government to remove Cuba from the list and begin the path of mutual understanding.

As a result, banks, financial institutions, companies and investors are reluctant to do business with the largest of the Antilles, another obstacle to its economic progress, which has also been hampered by the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington for more than six decades.

Cuba has never supported terrorism; on the contrary, its actions have always been in favor of peace and the well-being of all peoples, a reality that the United States is trying to distort to suit its convenience and interests.
