Raúl Castro makes first public appearance since Trump administration charged him with murder

Raúl Castro appeared publicly on state television during an Interior Ministry event in Havana after the Trump administration charged him with murder related to the 1996 shoot-down of two civilian aircraft operated by the exile group Brothers to the Rescue. The indictment alleges Castro conspired to kill U.S. nationals and destroy the planes, which killed four men. President Trump praised the charges as accountability for Cuban Americans affected by the communist regime.
