ME News message: On May 21 (UTC+8), the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, accusing him of involvement in the 1996 incident in which Cuban fighter jets shot down two humanitarian aircraft, resulting in the deaths of four people, including three U.S. citizens. Raúl Castro had served as President of the Cuban Council of State and is Fidel Castro’s brother. This action is part of the Trump administration’s largest pressure campaign against the Cuban regime; previously, sanctions had already been imposed on Cuba’s military and intelligence sectors. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized the U.S. accusations as political manipulation on social media, saying they lacked a legal basis. Against this backdrop, former President Biden had removed Cuba’s designation as a “state sponsor of terrorism,” but Trump restored it upon taking office and tightened sanctions. A White House statement hinted that the U.S. could take military action against Cuba, emphasizing Trump’s determination to address international security threats. (Source: MLion)
