Cuba has fulfilled its commitments as guarantor of the peace talks process in Colombia. That was the fundamental reason highlighted by 46 U.S. congressmen in a letter sent to President Joe Biden.
Cuban Political Bureau member and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, in sharing the letter, pointed out that the text recognizes the arbitrariness of Cuba's inclusion in the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.
The politicians make known their concern about the effects that may have on the willingness of other countries to serve as guarantors of the Colombian peace process, the fact that Donald Trump's administration designated Cuba as a State sponsor of terrorism for its intermediation.
The accusation could make it difficult to identify those nations, so they urge Biden to reverse such a designation.
In 2021, when Trump put Cuba back on the list, he cited Cuba's refusal to extradite ten members of the National Liberation Army (eln) who had participated in peace negotiations with the Colombian government as one of the causes.
In May of this year, the Table of Dialogues for Peace between the Colombian Government and the National Liberation Army reiterated its request that Cuba be fully removed from the list, in which it was first included in 1982, and from which it was excluded in 2015.
