    Protests began in 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Cuban_protests

    Obama lifted sanctions, Trump reenacted them and Biden only lifted them shortly before the end of his term. From Reuters:

    15. Jan. 2025 President Joe Biden 's announcements effectively roll back many of the sanctions put in place by President-elect Trump

    How should Biden’s hesitation to lift the sanctions when taking over office be judged? In 2025 election was over and Trump was expected to reenact them immediately. To me it seems like Trump is finishing a job that was some time in the making.
