Terrorist country labels flip back and forth, policies swing like a pendulum

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, accusing him of involvement in the 1996 shoot-down of two humanitarian aid planes, which resulted in the deaths of four U.S. nationals, including three American citizens. Díaz-Canel criticized the baseless political manipulation. The terrorism state designation revoked by Biden was reinstated by Trump, and sanctions were imposed on entities such as GAESA. The White House also hinted that military action may be possible.
