Biden administration to revoke Cuba’s terrorism sponsor designation By Investing.com

Investing.com – The Biden administration expects the United States to designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.White House National Security Council officials did not comment on the matter.

The decision is likely to change next week after President-elect Donald Trump and Secretary-elect Marco Rubio, whose family fled Cuba in the 1950s, take office. Rubio has been a consistent advocate of sanctions on the communist island.

The current designation was reinstated on January 11, 2021, in the closing days of the first Trump administration. The move reversed the rapprochement between Cuba and the United States that took place during President Barack Obama’s second term.
