Washington — President Joe Biden on Monday ordered the State Department to create a working group to review U.S. remittance policy to ensure that money that Cuban Americans send home makes it directly into the hands of their families without the regime taking a cut.
He also ordered the department to start a working group to review of the feasibility of increasing the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The White House hopes a staffing boost could help it better facilitate civil society engagement following one of the communist island's biggest antigovernment demonstrations in recent memory. The actions were detailed by a senior administration official who spoke to CBS News on condition of anonymity because the Biden administration hadn't yet publicly announced the effort. They were first reported by the Miami Herald.
