The Trump administration has re-designated Cuba a “state sponsor of terrorism,' citing among other things Cuba's harboring of U.S. fugitives.

FILE - In this Oct. 14, 2020 file photo, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a news conference at the State Department in Washington.

The designation is one of the latest in a series of last-minute moves that the Trump administration is making before Biden takes office on Jan. 20. In addition to attacking Cuba for its support of Maduro, the Trump administration has also suggested that Cuba may have been behind or allowed alleged attacks that left dozens of U.S. diplomats in Havana with brain injuries starting in late 2016.

The latest sanctions reinstated by the Trump administration include major restrictions that will bar most travel from the U.S. to Cuba and transfer of money between the two countries, a significant source of income for Cubans who have relatives in the United States. Cuba has had a long-standing alliance with Maduro, although it has long denied it has 20,000 troops and intelligence agents in Venezuela and says it has not carried out any security operations. Cuban officials, however, have said they have the right to carry out broad military and intelligence cooperation that they deem as legitimate.

In making that determination, the department said several leaders of the Colombian rebel National Liberation Army remained on the island despite attempts at dialogue.

The GOP is a state sponsor of terror.

Wait till Trump becomes a fugitive....

The trump administration should be designated a sponsor of terrorism. He doesn’t harbor terrorists, he pardons them.

So that’s were trump is going on Jan 20th! mondaythoughts

I think the world has had enough of America's finger pointing.

Weird, Cuba designated the U S a state sponsor of terrorism.

Oh comonnow! Please! Where else is diaperdon going to flee to?

Trump administration is also sponsoring terrorism.

The US calling out countries for state sponsored terrorism

Takes one to know one.

Pot, Kettle.

When is he going to put the US on the list?

When Russia puts out bounties and infiltrates your entire system you say nothing, but Cuba you're all talk. That's what bullies do, they pick on the weakest kid cause they're cowards.

😂😂😂😂 Must be the joke of the day

Oh, just another blunder that will be remedied soon enough.

1) Biden agenda for 1/21 reversal of Trump’s Cuban sanctions. The local Cuban people don’t deserve this.....

Calm down the idiot. He's already fired!

The biggest state sponsored terrorist organization is the GOP themselves

Soooo, Cuba sponsored the Trumpers who stormed the Capitol?

Hello, pot. Meet kettle...

Yeah Cubans are so dangerous right now, but we have neo-nazis, white supremacists and Q lunatics in our neighborhoods. Just trying the deflect the real threat of home-grown terrorism in our backyard. God forbid we actually focus on real issues. We are a joke to the world.

Pot calling the kettle terrorist?

Just aiming at whatever Obama era stuff he missed

Trump is a sponsor of terrorism. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.

What this does is make it difficult or impossible for Americans to travel there, which puts a huge dent in their economy from lost tourism. This makes the Cubans who escaped there and live in Florida happy, so they continue to vote republican.

Are we like back in the 60s 🤦

¿Qué pensaran de esto los cubanos que votaron por el?

Sanctions against Georgia and Alabama coming next?

So Cuba will not let Trump build a hotel? Is that why?

Whaaaaat? After all the people who voted for him I. Miami? No one could have seen this coming. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Said the man who incited a domestic coup last Wednesday, two days after being caught committing election fraud

Right as our own home-grown terrorism reigns down on our capitol. Oh, the irony.

So is Saudi Arabia

Takes one to know one?

It does take one to know one, doesn't it?

Damn, Cubans, you vote for him and then he calls you terrorists.

If they are against him, they are true patriots

mikepompeo is the part of Trump’s anatomy that StormyDaniels so eloquently described as resembling a mushroom. And just as small too.

OF COURSE THEY ARE! DEFLECTION DEFLECTION DEFLECTION! SecPompeo prepare to be counted with the traitors and seditionists!!!!!

Ditto for Trump administration. All fugitives

Shouldn’t they de declaring themselves as a sponsor of terror.
