Pompeo Hints At Returning 'Evil' Cuba To Terror List

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has hinted that he wants to redesignate "evil" Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, a late-term move that would pile pressure on the communist island.

In an interview released Tuesday, Pompeo confirmed that the State Department was looking at taking the major step before he leaves office on January 20 -- throwing a wrench into any diplomatic outreach to Cuba by President-elect Joe Biden.

"We don't get out in front of decisions that will be made on designations, but the world knows Cuba's evil hand in so many places," Pompeo told the Bloomberg television show of investor David Rubenstein.

Pompeo pointed to Cuba's staunch support for Venezuela's leftist leader Nicolas Maduro, whom President Donald Trump's administration has unsuccessfully tried to oust, saying Havana has caused "massive pain" in the economically ravaged South American nation.

"It is completely appropriate for us to consider whether Cuba is in fact sponsoring terrorism," Pompeo said.
