Tensions have risen over signals that Cuba could be excluded from the Summit of the Americas next month.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in the final assessment published Friday in the U.S. Federal Register, named Cuba among five countries - along with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and Syria - that the United States says fall short of its expectations.Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez anticipated the move on Thursday, calling a draft notice from May 11 signed by Blinken “one more lie” coming from Washington.

The U.S. assessment is almost identical to the one issued by the Biden administration a year ago, which stuck with the Trump administration’s determination. The decision follows the Biden administration’s move on Monday to partially rollback some Trump-era restrictions on remittances and travel to the Communist-ruled island, measures that Havana has blasted as sparse on details, politically-driven and insufficient.
