Biden reviews Trump’s decision to include Cuba on the terrorism list

SANAA, March 10 (YPA) – The White House confirmed, on Tuesday, that President Joe Biden’s administration is reviewing the decision taken by his predecessor Donald Trump’s administration in its final days to designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, but making a broad change in policy on Cuba is not currently one of Biden’s priorities.
“The administration is in no hurry to make major gestures toward Communist-ruled Cuba, despite hopes for a softer approach after the breakthrough achieved under Barack Obama and Trump backed away,” said White House spokeswoman Jane Sackey.
These statements confirm what a senior White House official made to Reuters last week, asking not to be named, that the policy pursued with Cuba is not among the main things Biden is focusing on now.
“The change in policy towards Cuba is not among President Biden’s priorities at this time,” Sacchi told reporters in the daily briefing.
“But we are committed to making human rights a fundamental pillar of American policy, and we are carefully reviewing the political decisions that were taken during the era of the previous administration, including the decision to designate Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism,” she added.
