The Biden administration lifted Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism on Tuesday, four years after the Trump White House issued the designation.

US President Donald Trump reversed Joe Biden's decision to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, just hours after his inauguration. Biden had planned to remove Cuba from the list in exchange for the release of 553 prisoners.

The move was part of a sweeping executive order signed by Trump on Monday night that rescinds 78 executive actions taken by Biden over the course of his presidency.
