Biden Removes Cuba from Terrorism List

President Joe Biden has announced his intention to remove Cuba from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list, a designation that critics argue is politically motivated and unfounded. The Biden administration justified the move by stating that Cuba has not supported international terrorism recently and has assured that it will not do so in the future. This decision has drawn fierce backlash from Florida Republicans, who view it as a betrayal that strengthens the Castro regime and undermines U.S. national security. Key figures, including Senators Rick Scott and Ted Cruz, condemned the action, characterizing it as a reckless 'parting gift to dictators.' They anticipate that the incoming Trump administration will swiftly reverse this decision. Additionally, the move reportedly aligns with a deal brokered by the Catholic Church to secure the release of political prisoners in Cuba.
