US-Cuba relation policy remains unclear as Biden takes office

Description

Havana, Jan 23 (EFE).- The arrival in the White House of Joe Biden could open a new chapter in relations between the United States and Cuba after four years of intensifying acrimony under Donald Trump, who ratcheted up punitive measures toward the Communist-ruled island.Biden was vice president when Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro announced in December 2014 the resumption of bilateral diplomatic ties after more than decades of mutual hostility.Obama went on to make a historic visit to Cuba and used the tools of executive power to promote closer links.Though Biden said during the 2020 election campaign that he would reverse Trump's move to sharply limit the ability of Cuban-Americans to send remittances to their families on the island, it remains unclear whether he intends to revive Obama's policy toward Cuba.
