Less than a week before leaving the White House, President Joe Biden is lifting the state sponsor of terrorism designation for Cuba.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump on Monday rescinded the Biden administration's last-minute decision to remove Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, the White House said.

The White House will remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, part of a series of steps to ease US policy toward the communist country in a bid to secure the release of political prisoners.

In addition to removing Cuba from the terror list, the White House will also issue the country a waiver from Title III of the 1996 Helms-Burton Act, which strengthened embargo provisions against Cuba. Title III of the law allows U.S. citizens to sue individuals allegedly trafficking in property expropriated by the country’s communist government.

In the last days before U.S. President Joe Biden departed the White House, he was somehow persuaded to take a second look at the U.S.-Cuba relationship. All I can say to President Biden is: that was one long Cuba policy review given that it was first initiated in February 2021.
