Raúl Castro Charged by Trump
Cuba's former leader Raúl Castro made his first public appearance since the Trump administration charged him with murder.
The charges relate to the 1996 shoot-down of Brothers to the Rescue planes, escalating tensions between the US and Cuba.
This development comes amid ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to pressure the Cuban government.
The charges have further strained diplomatic relations, which had already been deteriorating under the current US presidency.
The incident highlights the complex and often contentious history between the two nations.
