Nearly 600 parliamentarians from 73 countries call on the US to take Cuba off the “state-sponsor of terrorism” list
The US state-sponsor of terrorism designation, removed in 2015 following a thorough evaluation by the Obama Administration, was reapplied to Cuba on the very last days of the Trump presidency in 2021. Countries on the US list face extreme sanctions which hinder access to medicines and foods. The three other countries with the designation by the US government are Syria, since 1979, Iran, since 1984 and North Korea, since 2017. President Joe Biden has not removed the designation, despite promising a return to the Obama-era policy.
