AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoLegal Pressure Turns Personal: The U.S. unsealed murder and conspiracy charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro over the 1996 shootdown of two civilian planes operated by Miami exile group Brothers to the Rescue, with Acting AG Todd Blanche saying a warrant exists and Castro is expected to face “justice” in the U.S. Military Posture: As the indictment landed, U.S. warships moved into the southern Caribbean and the USS Nimitz strike group was positioned as a “show of force,” while Trump told reporters he’s “freeing up Cuba” and offered humanitarian help. Havana Pushes Back: Cuban President Díaz-Canel called it a “political maneuver” with “no legal basis,” and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said Washington is building a “fraudulent narrative” to justify aggression. Global Reaction: China urged the U.S. to stop using “judicial” tools and threats of force against Cuba. Exile Response: In South Florida, Cuban Americans celebrated the indictment, framing it as long-awaited accountability.
