The U.S. State Department announced Friday that Cuba has been dropped from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"The rescission of Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism reflects our assessment that Cuba meets the statutory criteria for rescission," the department said in a statement. "While the United States has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba's policies and actions, these fall outside the criteria relevant to the rescission of a State Sponsor of Terrorism designation."
National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan, in a blog post (https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/05/29/rescission-cuba-state-sponsor-terrorism), conceded that "while the United States has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba's policies and actions, these fall outside the criteria relevant to the rescission of a state sponsor of terrorism designation."
