Cuba has released 553 prisoners despite the collapse of an agreement with the United States that would have seen the easing of sanctions on the island. The deal with the Biden administration was brokered by the Vatican and came to light in January when President Biden announced he’d lift the state sponsor of terrorism designation for Cuba. The measure was quickly reversed by Trump after his inauguration.
In related news, the Trump administration is reportedly considering including Cuba and Haiti on a list of countries that could be subjected to a sweeping new travel ban.
