President Barack Obama notified Congress he intends to remove Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, less than a week after meeting with Cuban President Raul Castro in Panama.
The move is the administration’s most significant act since Obama began restoring U.S. diplomatic relations with Cuba in December after more than a half century of estrangement between the two countries. Cuba was put on the terrorism list in 1982.
