Uruguay grants residency path to 30,000 Cuban migrants with pending asylum claims

Uruguay's government under President Yamandú Orsi signed a decree allowing nearly 30,000 Cubans with pending refugee applications to obtain residency. This marks a policy shift toward regularizing Cuban migrants, potentially easing pressure on the asylum system and altering migration dynamics in the region. The move is significant for bilateral relations and regional migration patterns, though its full impact remains to be seen.
