The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro, 94, in a Miami federal court on charges including conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals related to the 1996 downing of civilian aircraft. The move is seen as an escalation of pressure by the Trump administration to push for regime change in Cuba. Cuba maintains the shootdown was a lawful response to airspace violations and has condemned U.S. criticism.
