“We are studying the facts. We are reviewing the law. If it is the responsibility of this agency or another, if it is effective and appropriate,…”, State Department spokesman Ned Price told CNN.

The North American list currently includes North Korea, Iran, Cuba and Syria. By definition it is a country that “has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism,” according to the State Department itself.

Price has stated that the latest Russian attacks represent “a campaign of terror” against Ukraine. “Russia, more than an invasion, more than starting a war, has launched a campaign of terror, a campaign of brutality, a campaign of unfortunate aggression against the people of Ukraine,” she pointed out.
