The Trump administration has indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro, 94, on charges that stem from his alleged role in the 1996 shootdown of two civilian aircraft that killed four people, including three Americans. While announcing the charges, which include conspiracy to kill US nationals, Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche said President Donald Trump “will not forget its citizens.” Cuba’s current president called the indictment a “political maneuver without any legal basis.”
The indictment comes at a tense time for US-Cuban relations, with the Trump administration declaring the Cuban government is a threat to US national security. Cuba is also dealing with a collapse of its energy sector due to an oil blockade following the US attack on Cuba’s oil-rich ally Venezuela.
