Reuters reported:

“The indictment comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a regime change in Cuba, where Castro’s communists have been in charge since ‌his late brother Fidel Castro led a revolution in 1959.

‘America will not tolerate a rogue state harboring hostile foreign military, intelligence and terror operations just ninety miles from the American homeland’, Trump said in a statement earlier on Wednesday.”

“The charges against Raul Castro, 94, are expected to be based on a 1996 incident in which Cuban ⁠jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles, a U.S. Justice Department official told Reuters last week on the condition of anonymity.

The Miami U.S. Attorney’s office is planning to host an event starting ​at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT) to honor victims of the incident. The Justice Department said on Tuesday it would make an announcement in conjunction with the ceremony, but did not provide details about the announcement.”

“In a video message addressed to the Cuban people on Wednesday morning, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents were Cuban immigrants to the United States, ​offered to forge a new relationship between the two countries. He said the U.S. could provide $100 million in aid, and blamed Cuba’s leaders for shortages of electricity, food and fuel.”
