Havana, January 14 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel thanked all those who contributed to the decision announced on Tuesday by the United States to exclude Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, which it should never have been on and which, along with two other measures adopted, has had a high cost for the country and Cuban families.

On his X account, the Cuban president wrote: "It is a decision in the right direction, although late and with limited scope.  The blockade and most of the extreme measures that were put in place since 2017 to suffocate the Cuban economy and cause shortages for our people remain in place."

We will continue to confront and denounce the economic war and the actions of interference, disinformation and discredit financed with US federal funds. At the same time, we will not give up developing a civilized relationship with the United States that respects our sovereignty," Díaz-Canel concluded.
