"The circumstances that led to Cuba's certification as a country that does not fully cooperate with counterterrorism efforts (NFCC) changed from 2022 to 2023," he noted.
The US government recalled that Cuba's refusal to collaborate with Colombia in the extradition requests of members of the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group led to Cuba's NFCC certification in 2022.
The State Department stressed that the United States and Cuba resumed law enforcement cooperation in 2023, including in the fight against terrorism. "Therefore, the Department determined that continuing to certify Cuba as a ‘country that does not fully cooperate’ was no longer appropriate."
The Cuban government considered the United States' decision to remove Cuba from the said list insufficient.
"The United States has just admitted what everyone knows: that Cuba fully cooperates with counterterrorism efforts," said Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on the social network X (formerly Twitter), referring to the State Department's decision.
At the same time, Rodriguez insisted on demanding that the US government remove Cuba "from the arbitrary list with which it designates countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism" and stop "applying the coercive economic measures that accompany this unfair designation".
Cuba's inclusion on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism in January 2021 was one of the last decisions of the administration led by Donald Trump (2017-2021) before leaving office.
