It was just a week before he’d be out of the job, but former President Donald Trump managed to construct yet another political hurdle for his successor.
Cuba, the Trump administration announced, was being relabeled a state sponsor of terrorism after having been taken off that list more than five years earlier. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the decision was rooted partly in Cuba’s unwillingness to extradite some fugitives, including members of Colombia’s National Liberation Army.

Lawmakers are seeking to block President Biden from reversing the Trump administration s last-minute decision to list Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Legislation from GOP Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Rick Scott (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) would bar Biden or Secretary of State Antony Blinken from removing the designation former President Obama first lifted five years ago.
The State Department added Cuba to the state sponsored terrorism list in Trump s last 10 days in office, with then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arguing it would help with denying the Castro regime the resources it uses to oppress its people at home, and countering its malign interference in Venezuela and the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
