Trump Administration's 'Terrorism' Label For Cuba Under Review

A late announcement from the Trump administration was to declare Cuba a “state sponsor of terrorism.” The Biden administration promised a review of the Trump action.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken confirmed the development in remarks with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.

Cuba imports about $2 billion worth of ag commodities per year, but minor amounts come via the United States. However, Cuba is the fourth largest foreign market for U.S. poultry.

U.S. rice producers have also eyed the market that is just 90 miles from the United States for their products, but have also not been able to build the market that they see possible in the island country.
