The US Department of Justice is seeking an indictment against former Cuban President Raúl Castro for the 1996 shootdown of civilian planes that killed four people.This legal action coincides with intense economic sanctions, fuel shortages, and secret diplomatic visits by CIA officials to Havana.President Donald Trump has linked these pressures to potential military intervention or a friendly takeover if Cuba does not meet US demands regarding its economy and alliances.Despite retiring from the
Cuban Communist Party in 2021, the 94-year-old leader is still considered a central figure in the ongoing geopolitical dispute between the nations.
