The Cuban Ministry of Relations has just released a note on the recently announced changes in the policy towards the Island, considering them “a limited step in the right direction.”

“Today, the United States government announced several measures, positive but of a very limited scope, with respect to Cuba in terms of visas, regular migration, flights to the provinces, remittances and adjustments to the regulations for transactions with the non-state sector.

“By their nature, it is possible to identify some of the promises made by President Biden during the 2020 election campaign to alleviate inhumane decisions made by the Trump administration, which tightened the blockade to unprecedented levels and the “maximum pressure” policy since then applied against our country».

And adds:

“The announcements do not modify the blockade at all, nor the main economic fence measures taken by Trump, such as the listings of entities that are subject to additional coercive measures, nor does it eliminate travel bans on Americans.

Changes in policy towards Cuba announced

“It does not reverse the arbitrary and fraudulent inclusion of Cuba on the State Department’s list of countries that are allegedly sponsors of terrorism, one of the main causes of the difficulties that Cuba encounters for its commercial and financial transactions in many parts of the world. ».

And evaluate:

“It is, however, a limited step in the right direction, a response to the denunciation of the Cuban people and government. It also responds to calls from American society and Cubans residing in that country. This has been a demand of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and that of almost all the member states of the United Nations, expressed in the overwhelming vote against the blockade. These are just demands that have been ignored by the United States government at a very high cost to our population.”
