Mr. Trump described the U.S. actions taken against Cuban leaders as something that Cubans living in the U.S. and on the Caribbean Island have wanted for many years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very big moment for people that, not only Cuban Americans, but people that came from Cuba that want to go back to Cuba, people that want to see their family in Cuba. I think it\u2019s a very big day, very important day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have so many Cuban friends in Miami, mostly in Miami and Florida, and they\u2019re unbelievable people. They\u2019re unbelievable entrepreneurs, and they\u2019d like to go back,\u201d he said. \u201cI think they\u2019re hopefully going to want to live here, but they want to go back. Maybe they\u2019ll look, and we\u2019ll see what happens. But we\u2019re freeing up Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president described Cuba as a \u201cfailing nation\u201d that is \u201cfalling apart\u201d and has no oil. He said the U.S. is there to help Cuban Americans and their families in Cuba. He also recalled that he was supported by 94% of Cuban Americans in the last presidential election.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump declined to comment on whether the U.S. military would capture and arrest Mr. Castro as it did in January with Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro.<\/p>\n

Mr. Castro spent years at the pinnacle of Cuba\u2019s government alongside his late brother, Fidel Castro. He was indicted on federal charges of murder and conspiracy to kill Americans stemming from the 1996 downing of airplanes delivering aid to Cuban refugees.<\/p>\n

Mr. Castro was first vice president and minister of defense at the time of the shootdown, which the U.S. said happened in international waters. The attack killed U.S. citizens who were part of Brothers to the Rescue, a group of Cuban exiles that flew pro-democracy propaganda missions to the island.<\/p>\n
