The United States will keep Cuba on the list of countries that support terrorism, the spokesperson for the North American State Department, Kristina Rosales, stated this Wednesday. "Cuba will remain on the list," said Rosales, to Caracol Radio, according to the Ansa agency. And he added: "Cuba is not going to leave the list; we do not have any announcement or information about its removal from the list." At the beginning of this week, Petro had written on his social networks that “Cuba's entry into the list of countries that help terrorism is due to the request made by the government of (Iván) Duque to the government of the United States. Also in his speech, on Tuesday, at the UN General Assembly in New York, the Colombian president maintained that the United States had to "begin to close and heal the open wounds in history with Latin America" and that a step in this regard was removing Cuba from that list. Barack Obama had left Cuba off the list in the middle of his rapprochement with Havana, but Donald Trump later retracted the measure. Last week, the Cuban vice foreign minister, Carlos Fernández de Cossio, was in Washington making arrangements in this regard.
