KHARTOUM, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. embassy in Khartoum on Monday officially announced the removal of Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"The congressional notification period of 45 days has lapsed and the Secretary of State has signed a notification stating rescission of Sudan's State Sponsor of Terrorism designation is effective as of today (December 14), to be published in the Federal Register," said the embassy on its Facebook page on Monday.
On Oct. 19, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he would remove Sudan from the list after Sudan pays 335 million U.S. dollars to American victims.
The U.S. listed Sudan as one of the countries sponsoring terrorism in 1993.
