U.S. and Cuban officials made progress on a range of issues during high-level talks in Washington this week but were unable to narrow differences over the biggest disputes between the countries, Cuba’s vice foreign minister said on Thursday.
Cuba’s main concerns are that it remains on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism and the Biden administration’s continuation of Washington’s Cold War-era economic embargo against the Communist-ruled island.
“We welcome them, but they're not the defining factor, the overriding issue,” De Cossio told Reuters.U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, last year partially rolled back some Trump-era restrictions on remittances and travel to Cuba, measures that Havana said were insufficient. Asked whether any progress had been made in a long-running review of whether to lift terrorism-sponsor designation, he told reporters: “We have not made a determination that I can report today."
