The Donald is back!    "Sharpies" are stepping up production!

Washington, January 21 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump revoked this Monday, in the first hours of his Presidency, the order of last January 14th with which former President Joe Biden removed Cuba from the list of states that promote terrorism.

On January 14th, Biden made his decision, albeit late, that Cuba "should no longer be designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism," as confirmed by the White House in a statement related to the notification that the then president made to Congress.

Likewise, he issued a waiver for Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, also known as the Liberty Act, for a period of six months and rescinded the National Security Presidential Memorandum 5 of 2017 on policy towards Cuba to eliminate the so-called 'restricted list.'

The measures were received as a duty of basic justice towards the Caribbean country and as a step in the right direction, although the blockade remained.

In his first administration (2017-2021), Trump applied a policy of "maximum pressure" towards Cuba, which he reinforced with 243 additional measures.

Eight days before leaving the White House in 2021, the Republican included Cuba in the list of which it had not been part since 2015, a position that Biden maintained until the very end of his term.

Trump announced that he is revoking 78 executive orders of the Biden administration
The president also announced that he will revoke 78 of the "destructive and radical executive actions" of the previous administration.

"We are going to sign executive orders first, I will revoke almost 80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration, one of the worst administrations in history," Trump said in his inaugural speech at the Capital One Arena.

The orders will become "ineffective" in five minutes, the president added.
