The timing makes me think he only did it after Jacobin magazine and some bloggers reminded him his awful policy exists. Is State Department asleep?
Could’ve done it much sooner but nice of him to do this a month before Trump puts it back on the list I guess

The president does not grant statehood. Only congress can do that.
