Raul Castro

Speculation is mounting about who, if anyone, might replace Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for change in Cuba's leadership. He still has two years left in his term —- but some experts and a growing number of Cubans doubt he'll make it. Experts say two Castro cousins have come into focus as potential replacements.

Florida’s attorney general says Florida has reopened a criminal investigation into former Cuban leader Raul Castro’s role in the 1996 shootdown of exile planes. Attorney General James Uthmeier says his office reactivated the case files after learning the probe had been shut down.

In a Feb. 13 letter to President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, the lawmakers want federal law enforcement authorities “to review previously compiled evidence, take a fresh look at command responsibility at the highest levels of the Cuban regime, and use every available legal tool to hold accountable those responsible for the killing[s].”

Raúl Castro has stepped down as Cuba's communist boss — but the regime's old guard's still making sure the new guard keeps its rigid system intact.

A generation of Cuban revolutionaries who seized power six decades ago is set to exit the stage, with Raúl Castro saying he will step down as head of the Cuban Communist Party.
