Summary

Nearly 30 years after the 1996 shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft over international waters, the U.S. Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment charging Raul Castro with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, murder, and destruction of aircraft in connection with the deaths of four people. In this episode, Buck Sexton breaks down the significance of the case, the Trump administration’s renewed pressure campaign on Cuba, and the possible paths forward for the island’s political future.
