Biden to Lift Cuba's Terrorism Designation, Rescind Trump Restrictions Before Leaving Office
Jan 14, 2025, 07:34 PM
The Biden administration is expected to lift the United States' designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism in the final days of President Joe Biden's term, according to U.S. officials cited by the Associated Press. In addition to removing Cuba from the terrorism list, the administration plans to rescind Trump-era restrictions and suspend expropriation claims against Cuba. The move is anticipated to lead to improved diplomatic relations and the potential release of political prisoners in response to U.S. actions. Republican lawmakers, including President-elect Donald Trump and incoming Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have expressed outrage at the decision, vowing to reverse it when they take office on January 20.
