Cuba's Volleyball Team Barred From US Event in Latest Sport Spat
Cuba's volleyball team was denied visas for a tournament in Puerto Rico, the latest example of a US travel crackdown that the communist government blasted as discriminatory and said could hurt its ability to participate in the Olympics. The denial is another example of 'racist and xenophobic visa restrictions developed by Secretary of State' Marco Rubio, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Friday in a post on X. 'They're trying to block the development of Cuban sports, which are already limited' by US economic sanctions. Since returning to office this year, President Donald Trump's administration has hardened its policies toward Cuba, putting the island back on a list of state-sponsors of terrorism and slapping it with a partial travel ban. The government in Havana also says once-routine migration talks between the two countries have been suspended. Cuba's volleyball federation said 16 of its members of the women's national team were barred from traveling for the competition next month in Puerto Rico — a US territory that adheres to federal immigration laws. The event, held by the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation, is a qualifier for the Central American and Caribbean Games as well as the confederation championship. The Cuban Olympic Committee, meanwhile, said visa denials have kept its officials from attending routine meetings in the US and blocked the men's basketball team from participating in a tournament, also in Puerto Rico, earlier this year. Missing that event disqualified the team from the FIBA Americup — a hemisphere-wide basketball championship — that will be played in Nicaragua this year. Last month, the Cuban Olympic Committee said it was 'alarmed' by the US policies, which could hurt 'Cuba's ability to participate in Olympic qualifiers' ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

US says Cuba 'not fully cooperating' with counter-terrorism efforts
By Brendan O'Brien and Dave Sherwood , Reuters Photo: (David Beale via The US State Department has placed Cuba on a short list of countries it says did not fully cooperate with US counterterrorism efforts in 2024, reversing a decision by the Biden administration the previous year. The State Department said in a statement that there are at least 11 US fugitives in Cuba, including several facing terrorism-related charges, and that Cuba's government had "made clear it was not willing to discuss their return" to face justice in the United States. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez lashed out at the Tuesday (local time) decision by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American, saying it was based on lies. "It's worth reminding him that agencies of his own country in 2024 presented evidence to the contrary," Rodriguez said on X late on Tuesday. Biden administration officials, the previous year, took Cuba off the list, citing the resumption of law enforcement cooperation between Cuba and the US as one of the reasons why the previous designation was deemed "no longer appropriate." The cooperation against terrorism list, which the State Department is required by law to provide to the US Congress, is not the same as the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Biden had also removed Cuba from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list, but Trump promptly reversed the decision upon taking office, imposing harsh new sanctions on the Caribbean island nation. The State Department on Tuesday also re-certified North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela as countries that failed to cooperate with the U.S in counter-terrorism efforts. The non-cooperation certification results in a prohibition on the sale or license for export of defence articles and services to these countries. -Reuters
