On his first day in office, President Donald Trump has reinstated the designation of Cuba as a "State Sponsor of Terrorism". Cuba is not and has never been a terrorist nation. The inclusion of Cuba on such a list is a violation of International Law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the rights of the Cuban people to sovereignty, self-determination and economic development. Cuba itself, has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks planned and launched on U.S. soil.
