US President Donald Trump/ HANDOUT
US President Donald Trump on Monday rescinded his Democratic
predecessor’s measure to remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors
of terrorism, the White House said.
Therefore, Joe Biden’s decision to remove Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism was in effect for a week only.
On January 14, Biden delisted the Latin American country as a state
sponsor of terrorism.
He also moved to suspend a provision of the
Helms-Burton Act, preventing US citizens from filing claims over
property seized in Cuba.
Upon his inauguration on Monday, Trump annulled 78 measures
introduced by the previous administration, including Biden’s last-minute
move of a week ago to revisit Cuba’s status.
In
2015, the Obama administration removed Cuba from the US list of state
sponsors of terrorism.
Rapprochement between the two countries was
suspended after Trump came to power in January 2017.
He tightened
restrictions on travel to the republic and banned business with
companies controlled by the Cuban military.
Among other measures, he put
Cuba on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.
