    Cuba to release 553 prisoners following talks with Vatican

    HAVANA (Reuters) - 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 U.S. administrations could reverse them.
