Biden-Harris Administration Confirms Cuba "Remittance Working Group" Has No Private Sector Members
/From a United States Department Of State spokesperson:
"The Administration has formed a U.S. governmental Remittance Working Group to review available options to establish remittance channels so that the Cuban people receive the maximum benefit from remittances their families send. At the President’s direction the State Department and the Treasury Department will provide recommendations to the President for how to maximize remittances to the Cuban people, while minimizing or eliminating the Cuban military’s ability to take a cut."
Biden-Harris Administration (2021- ) officials familiar with the process confirm that the members of the Remittance Working Group are United States Government employees.
Reasonable to conclude members of the Remittance Working Group include United States Government employees from The White House (including National Security Council), United States Department of State, United States Department of the Treasury, United States Department of Defense, United States Department of the Treasury, United States Department of Commerce, United States Department of Justice, and Central Intelligence Agency.
