US EditionMarco Rubio Says Cuba Failed to Cooperate with US on Counterterrorism Efforts Last Year
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Cuba has been added to the list of countries deemed uncooperative with U.S. counterterrorism efforts in 2024.
- This action followed Cuba's refusal to discuss returning 11 U.S.-charged fugitives harbored on the island, including terrorism suspects William Morales and Joanne Chesimard.
- The certification reverses the Biden administration's 2023 removal of Cuba from the non-cooperation list, a decision influenced by resumed law enforcement cooperation that later deteriorated.
- Rubio stated Cuba is an 'enemy of humanity' and criticized the Biden administration for wanting to remove Cuba from the terrorism sponsors list despite ongoing non-cooperation.
- The designation prohibits defense exports to Cuba and suggests the country will likely remain a state sponsor of terrorism due to persistent law enforcement non-cooperation.
