that's not a big deal that we'll see in prison is protest is released in cuba. the government in havana says it says step in the right direction and it recognizes future us and ministrations may over time. the decision from on this that's bringing island fish and his lawn 1st and washington d. c. so that's why i'm just explain just why buying is removing cuba from this list of state sponsors of terrorism. now? well, this is something that's been under examinations since essentially the bite and administration took over in the white house. donald trump changed the designation as he was going out the door. in fact, on the 12th of january, 2021. and the pipe administration criticized him for saying that essentially they were tying their hands for a while now. they said they would gun to go review. they've done that in 2022 until the blinking said that was still under way. and here we are almost 3 years later. and they said that it's not done and they were removing the designation. so what does it mean? it means that cuba is removed from the list. the also includes

keep cuba entirely out of politics. i have opposed efforts to stir up a partizan inquiry over the bay of pigs invasion, and i'm just as critical of those who cry politics when they disagree with what is said under our form of government. all americans have a right to a fair, honest evaluation of what is going on and what it means in terms of the security of the united states. the soviet buildup in cuba has turned that island into a base for subversion and terrorism throughout the hemisphere. this is no secret to the soviets. in fact, it's their announced aim. unless the people of the united states and their elected representatives make clear that we do not intend to compromise with communism in this hemisphere, we can expect further inroads in the future. it's the clear responsibility of everybody in government to communicate that fact and the dangers it involves to the entire nation before it's too late. a professor in queens writes. do something about airport noise. it's wrecking my nerves. his complaint is echoed by

and that puts cuba back into the new cycle in the negative way. members of congress, pylon. ok. you know, he's dead, he's been out of power, but now we should really focus on on cuba and the trump, the ministration had some people in it who were really good at what they wanted to do. they knew how to move the levers and they made changes that impacted the commercial sector and the bilateral financial relationship. and now coming in, the, the buying administration knows who are the americas people for the trump team. and to do this 6 days before trunk comes into office. they know what the reaction is going to be. they know members of congress and it's not just republicans, it's democrats and republicans in florida, particularly who have come out and condemn this. and from my perspective, my little world, which is business, you know, company is gonna change what they're doing because buying and made some changes that could be reversed in 6 days. so it was just really, you know, and i guess we're all most of sorts. yeah, from cuba, us perspective, it's like they won the lottery 11

so the middle east, including syria and palestine, of course, over to cuba. we go here with the program with the island nation that lives on the bus. some of uncle sam's long on of sanctions has been given a little breathing room. the white house has or has announced that it is set to remove, have bought out from his list of state sponsors of terrorism. just ahead of trumpets integration. biden's team explained the move, but the fact that cuba has not been engaged in any illegal activity around the world. the government of cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism. during the preceeding 6 month period, the government of cuba has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future. providing has already notified congress over the decision mirroring a move of the rock obama made years ago. however, it could be short lived as donald trump was the man to put cuba ride back on the list during his 1st time in 2021. unlikely america expert daniel, sure, he expects trump to point to reverse biden's decision u
