Havana: Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Tuesday his government would "gradually" release 553 prisoners following talks with the Vatican, a decision announced just hours after the Biden administration said it would loosen a host of sanctions on the island.
Cuba praised Biden's decision to ease restrictions as "correct" but said the actions may be too little, too late, adding future US administrations could reverse them.
