ON HIS first day in office, US President Donald Trump reinstated Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism.”
Outgoing president Joe Biden had removed Cuba from the US State Department’s list of “state sponsors of terrorism” less than a week prior, a long-awaited move that he committed to in his final days in office. Prior to this, Cuba had been on the list since 2021, as Trump had added Cuba in the final days of his first administration.
This designation has piled on unilateral sanctions to the already blockaded island and led to multiple humanitarian crises, as it has the unofficial effects of ostracising Cuba from global trade —resulting in shortages of key goods such as fuel.
