The 'Easter Bunny' comes early this year. |
Cuba could be removed as early as April from US' List of Sponsors of Terrorism.(telesurtv).
The move could happen as early as April paving the way for diplomatic embassies in Washington and Havana.
The United States responded positively to Cuba's call to be taken off from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, a condition put forward by Havana before embassies could be opened in their respective capitals.
Roberta Jacobson, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, said on Friday during a press conference that her country is reviewing the terror list and will remove Cuba from it before April to pave the way for better ties between both nations.
"We are going to do that as quickly as we can in accordance with the requirements of the law, but we see that and the establishment of diplomatic relations as separate processes,” Jacobson said.
The Cuban government has insisted that diplomatic relations cannot exist while one country has the other one on a list of sponsors of terrorism.
"For us it would be difficult to explain that Cuba and the U.S. have re-established normal diplomatic relations while Cuba is kept in that list that we believe we have never belonged to," said Josefina Vidal, director of Cuban Foreign Ministry's North American affairs office, who is heading her country's delegation in the talks. Hmmm.....The fact that Cuba is still BFF with Russia is no prob at alll.....lets all sing 'kumbaya'. Read the full story here.
