The State Department under President Biden has declined to review the Trump administration's designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terror, a move that has negatively impacted the Cuban economy and led to an increase in migration. This decision is seen as a rebuke to the Obama administration's efforts to normalize relations with Cuba. Critics argue that there is no longer a legitimate rationale for Cuba to be on the list of state sponsors of terrorism and that the Biden administration lacks the political courage to remove it. The refusal to review Cuba's status has sparked criticism and questions regarding the rationale for maintaining Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
