The recent reversal by U.S. President Donald Trump of Joe Biden's decision to remove Cuba from the U.S. \"State Sponsors of Terrorism\" list underscores the persistent inconsistency in U.S. policy towards Cuba. This move highlights the ongoing flip-flopping that has characterized the United States' approach to Cuban relations.
The imposition of sanctions has had significant adverse effects on Cuba's economy and its citizens, raising questions about the efficacy and rationale behind these policies. Critics argue that the sanctions have not achieved their intended political objectives and have instead exacerbated economic hardships within Cuba.
Moreover, there is growing global support for Cuba, with various international actors pushing back against American pressure. This global resistance suggests a shift in international dynamics and challenges the United States' ability to unilaterally influence Cuba's internal affairs.
The continuous cycle of hostility and policy reversals prompts a critical examination of whether the United States should reconsider its approach towards Cuba or continue down the current path of sanctions and reversals.
