Marco Rubio Says Cuba Failed to Cooperate with US on Counterterrorism Efforts Last Year
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Cuba as a non-cooperating country for counterterrorism in 2024, citing the island's refusal to assist in efforts to return fugitives wanted by the U.S. And marking the nation as blacklisted.
- This certification came after Cuba declined to engage in talks regarding the extradition of at least 11 fugitives, including terrorism suspects such as William Morales and Joanne Chesimard, sought by the United States to face legal proceedings.
- The State Department said non-cooperation also involved other law enforcement issues and maintained Cuba provided safe haven to fugitives, undermining past cooperation efforts.
- The certification triggers a ban on U.S. Defense exports to Cuba and supports Rubio's description of the regime as an 'enemy of humanity' while indicating Cuba likely remains designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.
- Cuba's government and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez rejected the decision, calling it based on falsehoods and citing contrary U.S. Agency evidence reported in 2024.
