Statement by Pambis Kyritsis, General Secretary of the World Federation of Trade Unions, following the inclusion of Cuba back on the spurious Sponsors of Terrorism List by the new US White House Administration
Washington, January 21 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump revoked this Monday, in the first hours of his Presidency, the order of last January 14th with which former President Joe Biden removed Cuba from the list of states that promote terrorism.
On January 14th, Biden made his decision, albeit late, that Cuba "should no longer be designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism," as confirmed by the White House in a statement related to the notification that the then president made to Congress.

US President Donald Trump lashes out against Cuba from day one and without pretext. The decision to reinstate the tough economic warfare measures against Cuba, which his predecessor removed just days before, proves the aggressiveness of US imperialism against the sovereignty, peace and welfare of the Cuban people. These measures comprise the inclusion of our country, once again, in the arbitrary list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism, a designation that shows an absolute disregard for the truth.

The 40th Southern Cross Brigade concluded at a historic point for Cuba. During this Brigade, we saw Cuba’s removal from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, only to be included again just hours after Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States. The moment of hope that we felt when President Biden removed Cuba from the list was accompanied with suspicion, and an assumption that Trump would continue with the policy of maximum pressure.
