US President Joe Biden is going to generally continue the rigid policies of his predecessor Donald Trump against Cuba. Such an assessment of the prospects of American policy in this direction is given in the material of the edition of The Hill.
The reason for reasoning about this was the decision of the American administration to leave Cuba on the list “of countries that do not fully cooperate with the United States in the field of combating terrorism.”
According to Professor Fulton Armstrong, a political consultant in the administration of Bill Clinton, this solution is dictated by purely internal political considerations. According to him, thus the Democratic Administration indicates to its political opponents-Republicans, which is not going to pursue a policy with which they would not agree.
Questions about Biden’s policies in relation to Cuba, a spokesman for the White House, Jen Psaki previously replied that Cuba is not included in the list of president’s main priorities.
The decision on the introduction of Cuba to the list of countries sponsoring terrorism was adopted by the former US President Donald Trump in January 2021, at the end of his term. Then it was believed that this decision was made to complicate policies in this direction for the Biden administration.
