Despite Cuba's long history of human rights abuses and its support for global terrorism, the Biden administration, swayed by a meeting between Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Pope Francis, plans to naively remove Cuba from the state-sponsored terrorism list. This decision overlooks the authoritarian regime's ongoing suppression of political dissent and poses a risk to U.S. national security. Critics argue this move sends the wrong message to other rogue states and undermines the fight against global terrorism.

In a historic step towards rebuilding relations with Cuba, the Biden administration, influenced by the Vatican's humanitarian efforts, will remove Cuba from the state-sponsored terrorism list. This decision comes after Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel's constructive dialogue with Pope Francis at the Vatican on June 20, 2023, where they discussed the importance of peace and the release of prisoners. This move is a testament to the power of diplomacy and opens the door for a new chapter in Cuban-American relations.
