Will the US remove Cuba from the list of countries that sponsor terrorism by the end of 2025?
Market Rules
On January 11th, 2021, the US State Department named Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism, reversing ongoing approximation efforts that had begun with the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2015.
The statement by the State Secretary designates Cuba as a provider of repeated support for acts of international terrorism. The new status automatically triggers sanctions against the country.
If Cuba's status as a state sponsor of terrorism is reviewed and removed by December 31st, 2025, this market will be resolved as "Yes".

- pedro_brito: Hi sparkman_dan! While Biden initiated the removal of Cuba from the State Department’s list of State Sponsors of International Terrorism, the change didn’t take effect immediately. There’s a 45-day period during which Congress could have blocked it. As a result, Cuba never actually left the list.
- sparkman_dan: Looks like they Biden took it off then Trump put it back on a day later. But it was removed.
