Raúl Castro appeared on Cuban state television Friday at an Interior Ministry celebration in Havana, his first public appearance since U.S. prosecutors unsealed murder and conspiracy charges against him.
The indictment accuses Castro of helping order the 1996 shoot-down of two Brothers to the Rescue civilian planes, which killed four Americans and allegedly occurred outside Cuban territory.
The 95-year-old former Cuban leader had last been seen publicly at May Day events, days before the charges were unsealed, after months largely out of view.
Trump has hailed the case as long-delayed accountability for Cuban Americans while saying the move would not trigger escalation, though analysts say it echoes the pressure campaign once used against Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro.
