Fidel Castro Lashes out at Obama After Cuba Visit

Fidel Castro rebuked President Obama in a lengthy diatribe Monday just days after the president’s historic visit to Cuba.

The former Cuban revolutionary leader published a letter in state-controlled media titled “Brother Obama,” in which he recalled the U.S.’s past efforts to overthrow his government.

“We do not need the empire to give us anything,” Castro wrote.

It was the elder Castro’s first response to Obama’s two-and-a-half-day visit last week, during which the president said he came to the country to bury the final vestige of the Cold War in the Western Hemisphere.

Obama met with Cuban leader Raul Castro, Fidel’s younger brother, but did not meet with the revolutionary leader, who is reportedly in poor health. Fidel Castro handed over power in 2008. (Read more from “Fidel Castro Lashes out at Obama After Cuba Visit” HERE)
