<h1>Biden Administration Considers Removing Cuba from Terrorism List in Deal for Prisoner Release; Rubio Expected to Oppose.</h1> The Biden administration plans to remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism as part of a deal brokered by the Catholic Church to release political prisoners in Cuba. This decision, announced to Congress, includes easing economic pressures and reversing a 2017 memorandum by former President Trump. However, the incoming Trump administration, with Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio, is expected to challenge this move. Rubio, a long-time advocate for sanctions on Cuba, is set to address his stance during his confirmation hearing. Critics, including Senator Ted Cruz, oppose Biden's decision, arguing Cuba's support for terrorism persists.
