Biden moves to lift state sponsor of terrorism designation for Cuba
Briefly

President Joe Biden's decision to lift Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism aims to enhance dialogue and improve human rights for Cubans, reflecting input from global leaders.
The U.S. plans to ease economic pressures on Cuba and work towards releasing detained individuals, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy towards the island under Biden's administration.
The Cuban government confirmed it would gradually release 553 prisoners, although the announcement did not directly connect this action to the U.S. decision regarding its terrorism designation.
Cuban officials criticized U.S. sanctions as 'economic warfare' and expressed concerns that the Biden administration's decisions might be reversed under a future Trump presidency.
