The U.S. is calling for one million signatures for Cuba.

The International Peoples' Assembly launched today a call for one million signatures to pressure the US government to review and remove Cuba from the arbitrary list of sponsors of terrorism.

The team that will represent Cuba in the Little League Baseball World Series was flagged off this afternoon at the Latin American Stadium, in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Jorge Luis Perdomo Di-Lella.

Perdomo Di-Lella handed the banner to Alfredo Despaigne Rivero, son of the outstanding baseball player Alfredo Despaigne, escorted by Luis Enrique Gourriel Delgado and Jeison Arturo Durruti.

Cuba advocates international peace and nuclear disarmament.

Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, called on Wednesday for international peace and atomic disarmament, on the 78th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of the Japanese city of Nagasaki.

On Twitter, the party leader recalled the date on which hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives after an atomic bomb, dropped by order of then U.S. President Harry S. Truman, destroyed 40 percent of that Japanese city.

U.S. Senator calls for Cuba to be removed from terrorist list.

Democratic Senator Peter Welch affirmed that removing Cuba from the list of sponsors of terrorism is today a step that the United States can and should take to recompose its relationship with the island.

Welch, who has been a member of the U.S. Senate from Vermont since this year, presented a statement for the Congressional Record outlining opportunities to advance bilateral ties.

In his proposal, the legislator warned that the policies currently in place amount to little more than a continuation of the failed agenda of the previous administration.
