HAVANA, Cuba, Aug 2 (ACN) A group of 46 U.S. congressmen sent a letter to President Joe Biden demanding the removal of Cuba from the list of sponsors of terrorism, as reported today by the foreign ministry on its website.
The letter, said Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuban foreign minister, recognizes in the text the arbitrariness of Cuba's inclusion in the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The politicians expressed their concern about the effects on the willingness of other countries to serve as guarantors of the Colombian peace process, the fact that Donald Trump's administration designated Cuba as a State sponsor of terrorism for its intermediation.
The accusation could make it difficult to identify those nations, so they urge Biden to revoke such designation.
The document highlights the commitment of the Caribbean nation as a guarantor of the peace talks process in Colombia.
It recalls that in 2021, when Trump put Cuba back on the list, he mentioned as one of the causes Cuba's refusal to extradite ten members of the National Liberation Army (eln) who had participated in the peace negotiations with the Colombian government.
In May this year, the Table of Dialogues for Peace between the Government of Colombia and the National Liberation Army reiterated its request that Cuba be fully removed from the list, on which it was first included in 1982, and from which it was excluded in 2015.
