Cuban Americans ‘Absolutely Delighted’ After Raúl Castro Indictment

‘This administration has shown a willingness to take steps that other administrations would not,’ a Cuban American source said.

Former Cuban leader Raúl Castro is facing murder charges from a U.S. indictment announced on May 20, and Cuban Americans have said it is more than just a symbolic gesture—it is a promise that the 94-year-old will soon be facing justice.

Sources told The Epoch Times that given the U.S. actions against Venezuela with the capture of leader Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, as well as the decapitation of the Iranian regime, it would be foolish of the communist Cuban government to dismiss U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric toward the island nation.
