Cuba Releases Prisoners, Vatican Agreement

0:00On this March 13th, here's what's shaping the world. Cuba has announced plans to release 51 prisoners in the coming days. The move stems from an agreement with the Vatican, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry on Thursday. This decision follows a meeting two weeks earlier between Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and Pope Leo at the Vatican. The timing comes amid growing pressure on Cuba from U.S. President Donald Trump. The ministry emphasized the nation's long-standing good relations with the Vatican, including regular talks on prisoner reviews. All those being freed have served a large part of their sentences and kept good conduct while behind bars. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor, linked in the description.
