CUBA: Fidel evidences Trump as the failure of US democracy
Come January, Cuba’s former leader Fidel Castro, now 90, will have seen 11 US presidents come and go since he first came to power in 1959. For the Cuban government, now led by Fidel’s younger brother Raúl, the prospect of a Republican Party victory in the upcoming US election on 8 November is a negative; the currently dominant conservative wing of the party (which hopes to retain control of Capitol Hill) vehemently opposes the US-Cuba rapprochement begun by President Barack Obama two years ago. And while the elder Castro has given only a tepid welcome himself to the rapprochement, he too has signalled disdain for the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.
