Ex-Cuban President Raúl Castro Charged in Plane Shootdown

Former Cuban President Raúl Castro faces criminal charges in the U.S. for the 1996 downing of two civilian planes, resulting in four American deaths. The Trump administrations pressure on Cubas government led to secret indictments in April, with potential life imprisonment or death penalty if convicted. Castros appearance in U.S. court is expected, despite Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canels denouncement of the indictment as political. U.S. officials hint at a new chapter in relations if Cuba adopts a free-market economy and new leadership. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
