He added that the Cuban government remains in unison with these evil actors who seek to upset the global balance of power, and Cuba continues to support Venezuela\u2019s brutal dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another sense, Democrat Gregory Meeks, a high-ranking member of the Committee, declared that not being a democracy is not a criterion to remain on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the legislative path that the bill must still follow is successful, President Biden would practically have his hands tied if he wanted to start a path of normalization with Cuba, since the prerogative for this would fall to Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken ruled out removing Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism for now, which it was included again by Donald Trump (2017-2021) during the final days of his term in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ELH2HPW33k\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/cuba-usa\/blinken-says-there-are-no-plans-to-remove-cuba-from-list-of-sponsors-of-terrorism\/\">Blinken says there are no plans to remove Cuba from list of sponsors of terrorism<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Blinken says there are no plans to remove Cuba from list of sponsors of terrorism&#8221; &#8212; OnCubaNews English\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/cuba-usa\/blinken-says-there-are-no-plans-to-remove-cuba-from-list-of-sponsors-of-terrorism\/embed\/#?secret=2b1XEgVcOs#?secret=ELH2HPW33k\" data-secret=\"ELH2HPW33k\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same Committee on Foreign Relations of the House of Representatives, the secretary of state responded that the administration does not plan to \u201cremove them from the list.\u201d This is how he asserted after questions made to him, precisely by Congresswoman Salazar, during a hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuba was included on that list for the first time in 1982 during the administration of President Ronald Reagan, who cited support for groups in Latin America classified as terrorists by the United States government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May 2015, during the term of President Barack Obama (2009-2017), this position was reconsidered as part of the \u201cthaw\u201d in relations between the two nations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in January 2021, Trump included Cuba on the list again, allegedly for rejecting Colombia\u2019s extradition request for members of the ELN, who claimed responsibility for a 2019 car bomb attack on a police academy in Bogot\u00e1, and for harboring American exiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among other consequences, the presence of Cuba on the list of sponsors of terrorism results in limitations for everything related to humanitarian aid, business, investment, trade and transactions that involve the participation of the country, causing damage to its citizens, according to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wola.org\/es\/analisis\/costo-humano-inclusion-cuba-lista-estados-patrocinadores-terrorismo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>analysis<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Cubans with foreign citizenship or residents in the European Union have been denied or canceled the benefits of the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) to the United States, and something similar has happened with their bank accounts as they are considered, due to their nationality, \u201chigh risk\u201d customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The selective inclusion in the list has also created additional difficulties for the Cuban government in accessing financing. Many banks, fearful of being accused of instigating terrorism and of the large fines that an infraction entails, \u201crefuse to process Cuban payments and have frozen funds for permitted religious and humanitarian activities, which require an additional license,\u201d the WOLA report highlighted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe designation of a country as a state sponsor of terrorism should depend on whether that country is actually sponsoring terrorism, as defined in the law that created the terrorism list, not on whether a country meets the many political and economic conditions of the 1996 Cuban Freedom Act and the Democratic Solidarity Act. Otherwise, the terrorism list makes no sense,\u201d William LeoGrande, a professor at the American University and an expert on Cuba-United States relations, told <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span
