The ~~Biden~~ Trump admin. re-designated Cuba as a terrorist state, which the Obama admin. had removed. These designations mean nothing in earnest. They’re just weapons of imperialist power.

It is another reason to NOT vote for Biden though. ☺️

Doesn't this also make the Union a terrorist organization? Are blockades terrorism?

Otherwise the US would be considered a terrorist state, and it's obviously not

The Trump admin, not Biden's did that according to your link.

Thanks—fixed. Biden can undo it anytime he wants…

Biden lifted some restrictions, but otherwise yes. I had forgotten that Bob Menendez was opposed to this before I read this article. He doesn't exactly have political capital to make statements anymore.
