Cuba re-added to U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism

(Worthy News) – The outgoing Trump administration, in one of its last foreign policy acts, is putting Cuba back on the official list of state sponsors of terrorism, reversing an Obama-era decision that aimed to normalize diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the communist island.

Following months of legal procedures, Cuba now joins Syria, Iran and North Korea on the U.S. terror list. The move is likely to complicate efforts by the Biden administration to resume the rapprochement with Havana that the president-elect helped to implement under the Obama administration.

“We will once again hold Cuba’s government accountable and send a clear message: the Castro regime must end its support for international terrorism and subversion of U.S. justice,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement that confirmed multiple rumors that the designation was in the works.
