The Obama administration announced Tuesday it will remove Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a major step in normalizing relations between the two countries. The announcement comes just days after a meeting between President Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro. Obama previously ordered a review of Cuba’s place on the terrorism list, which it has been on since 1982. The United States is expected to ease travel and remittance policies, expand commercial sales and exports and ease imports, and it will expand Cubans’ access to the Internet and telecommunications.
