AI Summary:
Joe Biden is expected to remove Cuba’s designation as a “state sponsor of terrorism” according to anonymous sources familiar with his plans. But the move is likely to be a symbolic measure rather than a lasting policy. With Donald Trump slated to take office on January 20, the decision may quickly be reversed. Cuban officials, meanwhile, heralded the announcement as long overdue. Cuba was first designated a “state sponsor of terrorism” in 1982. The designation was made during the final decade of the Cold War. Diplomatic relations between the two countries had long been severed by that point. Biden served as vice president during Obama’s two terms in office. In April of that year, Obama announced he would remove Cuba from the list of “state sponsors of terrorism” following meetings with then-Cuban President Raul Castro. Trump restored Cuba to the list of “state sponsors of terrorism” on January 12, 2021. The Cuban government blasted the change as “hypocrisy” and “political opportunism” The Biden White House urged “immediate action” to address the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Cuba. Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida denounces such a proposition as an “unacceptable risk” his state has a large population of Cuban refugees who fled repression and economic instability in Cuba. Scott: “Calls at 11th hour of Biden administration from communist-sympathizers in the Democrat Party for President Biden to remove Cuba from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list are not just ignorant, but dangerous”
