Massive Escalation Against Cuba as Trump Eyes Next Target

Former Cuban President Raúl Castro has been indicted in the United States—an escalation in President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign on the island’s communist government.

Castro, 94, is facing a charge of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals over the Cuban military’s shooting down two planes in the Straits of Florida that were operated by the humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue in 1996.

Raúl Castro, 94, is considered a hero of Cuba’s communist revolution.
