POTATUS Pulls Cuba From 'State Sponsor of Terrorism' List

President Joe Biden removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, according to a White House announcement Tuesday.

The White House said Cuba has not provided aid to a terrorist organization for the last six months and provided no indication that it would sponsor terrorism, according to the announcement. Cuba was previously put on the list by the president-elect Donald Trump’s first administration, saying the regime does “oppress its people” and also supported the National Liberation Army, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, according to the U.S. Embassy in Cuba on Jan. 11, 2021.

“The United States will continue to support the Cuban people in their desire for a democratic government and respect for human rights, including freedom of religion, expression, and association,” the U.S. Embassy in Cuba said in 2021 announcing the most recent designation. “Until these rights and freedoms are respected, we will continue to hold the regime accountable.”
