Biden administration to lift ‘terrorism’ designation on Cuba
After years of debate, the Biden administration has notified Congress that it will remove Cuba from the U.S. list of states that sponsor terrorism,
a label given the island nation in the last days of the previous Trump presidency.
The decision Tuesday was part of an agreement brokered in part by the Roman Catholic Church to free political prisoners held in Cuba,
U.S. officials said.
There is “no credible evidence at this time of ongoing support by Cuba of international terrorism,”
a senior administration official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Cuba always seemed an odd member of the notorious club,
which included Syria and Iran. Most experts and observers of the communist-led nation contended that it did not participate in global terrorism equivalent to the alleged actions of other nations.
