Trinta anos após um incidente que ceifou quatro vidas sobre o Estreito da Flórida, os Estados Unidos ressuscitam a memória jurídica da Guerra Fria ao indiciarem Raúl Castro, de 94 anos, pelo abate de duas aeronaves civis em 1996. Horas antes, o presidente Trump declarou, sem elaborar, que os EUA estão 'libertando Cuba' — palavras que pairam no ar como promessa ou ameaça, sem forma definida. O gesto legal e o gesto retórico, juntos, sinalizam uma escalada de tensão entre Washington e Havana, cujo desfecho permanece tão nebuloso quanto a declaração que o anunciou.

Trump administration adopting hardline Cuba policy, reversing Biden-era normalization attempts. Coordinated DOJ indictment with presidential rhetoric suggests unified executive strategy. Cuba isolated diplomatically; regional Latin American support for Cuba likely. Cuban-American Republican base energized. Russia and China may increase support to Cuba as counterbalance.
