The Obama administration formally rescinded Cuba's state sponsor of terrorism designation effective May 29 2015 amid ongoing talks to restore full diplomatic relations including embassies in Washington and Havana and the return of ambassadors.

The White House welcomed the step as progress toward a more normal US Cuban relationship.
