US Indicts Raul Castro as Cuba Tensions Rise

The United States has indicted former Cuban leader Raul Castro, prompting Cuba's president to call it a 'political maneuver.' The indictment comes as the Trump administration raises the prospect of military action and questions the diplomatic path with Cuba. Miami's exile community has celebrated the move, while Russia and the Kremlin have criticized the US action as fabricated and failed. The situation echoes the US playbook used in Venezuela, according to one analysis.
