Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump on Monday revoked the Biden administration's last-minute decision to remove Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, the White House said.

The move was part of a sweeping executive order signed by Trump on Monday night that rescinds 78 executive actions taken by Biden over the course of his presidency.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump reinstated Cuba 's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, reversing an executive order issued by President Joe Biden just last week. Biden had announced plans to lift the designation as part of a Vatican-brokered deal to free political prisoners in Cuba.
