The Heat: US pressure on Cuba | Indictment of Raúl Castro

The United States moved a naval fleet into the Caribbean on the same day the Department of Justice announced charges against former Cuban President Raul Castro. Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the indictment and called it a "political stunt.”

For more than six decades, the US has imposed sanctions on Cuba. In January, President Donald Trump escalated tensions by threatening tariffs on countries supplying Cuba with fuel, cutting off critical shipments from Venezuela and Mexico. #Heat #Cuba #Havana #RaulCastro #USEmbargo #Trump #Rubio
