Biden To Lift Cuba’s State-Sponsored Terrorism Label

The Associated Press reports:

The Biden administration on Tuesday is notifying Congress of its intent to lift the U.S. designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, the White House announced, as part of a deal facilitated by the Catholic Church to free political prisoners on the island.

Senior U.S. administration officials, who previewed the announcement on the condition of anonymity, said ”many dozens” of political prisoners and others considered by the U.S. to be unjustly detained would be released by the end of the Biden administration at noon on Jan. 20.

The determination is likely to be reversed as early as next week after Trump takes office and Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio assumes the position of America’s top diplomat.
