Trump Escalates Pressure on Cuba as US Charges Raul Castro with Murder The United States has charged former Cuban President Raúl Castro with murder, a move that is as much about domestic politics as it is about foreign policy.
The indictment against Castro marks a significant escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against Cuba's communist government. The timing of the charges is not coincidental.
As US President Donald Trump continues to push for regime change in Cuba, he has found an unlikely ally in the island nation's own dissident community.
