U.S. church network asks to remove Cuba from terrorist list.

More than 120 Presbyterian churches in the United States signed a letter to President Joe Biden calling for the removal of Cuba from the arbitrary list of sponsors of terrorism because it inflicts suffering on Cubans today.

"Mr. President, you have the power to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Cuba is not a terrorist country," said the signatories.

Madam Vice-Chair;

Excellencies;

Distinguished delegates;

We stand in solidarity with all victims and share the grief of the Arab and Hebrew communities in Cuba.
