The Trump administration is expected ​to announce criminal charges against former Cuban president Raul Castro on Wednesday, in a move that would mark a step-up in ‌Washington’s pressure campaign against the Caribbean island’s communist government. The charges against Castro, 94, are expected to be based on a 1996 incident in which Cuban jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles, a US Justice Department official told Reuters last week on the condition of anonymity. The Miami US Attorney’s office is planning to host ​an event starting at 1 p.
