Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has condemned the US’ “hypocritical and cynical” move to return Havana to its list of “state sponsors of terrorism”, describing it as political opportunism.

Cuba’s president condemns US efforts to place the county back on terrorism list.

The US president says he plans to remove Sudan from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism now that the African country has agreed to pay $335 million to US victims of terrorism.

The United States usually designates countries as sponsors of terrorism if they are victims of terrorism, a former American Senate foreign policy adviser says.
