In its typical, belligerent style, the Trump administration signed off its tenure with some last minute amendments. Returning Cuba to the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List was one prominent reversal of the diplomatic advancements made by former U.S. President Barack Obama in 2015, after both countries reached an agreement of a prisoner exchange – the remaining members of the Cuban Five in return for USAID contractor Alan Gross. Both countries restored full diplomatic ties, marking an end, or so it was thought, to decades of U.S. hostility against the island following the Cuban Revolution’s ousting of imperialist-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. With the normalisation of relations, attention had finally shifted towards the illegal U.S. blockade on Cuba.
