AI Summary

This bill, known as the Fighting Oppression until the Reign of Castro Ends Act (FORCE Act), prohibits the removal of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism until certain conditions are met.

The bill also mandates the President to report on terrorists and fugitives being provided safe haven in Cuba and prohibits financial transactions that would disproportionately benefit the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services.
