A lot of Medium posts are soft-paywalled nowadays: http://archive.today/pgjoQ

Reagan designated Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism, Obama removed it, Trump re-designated it, and Biden has done nothing but vote against UN resolutions calling for the end of the embargo, as recently as four months ago.

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution every year since 1992 demanding the end of the US economic embargo on Cuba, with the US and Israel being the only nations to consistently vote against the resolutions.
