US raises pressure on Cuba, charging Raul Castro with murder
The Trump administration has indicted former Cuban President Raul Castro on charges including conspiracy to kill US nationals and murder linked to the 1996 downing of two civilian US planes by Cuban fighter jets, the latest move to pressure Cuba's communist government. Cuban officials, including President Miguel Diaz-Canel, have denounced the indictment as a politically motivated maneuver without legal basis, while US officials defend it as holding accountable those who targeted American citizens.
