Castro Obamas friendly
US President Barack Obama@@@s "friendly smile and African-American face" are hiding Washington@@@s sinister intentions for Latin America, Fidel Castro said Monday, in what was seen as more evidence of a new cooling in US-Cuba relations after a thaw had seemed possible just months ago.In a letter to Hugo Chavez that the Venezuelan president read at the close of a summit of leftist Latin American nations Monday, Castro said the US "empire is on the offensive again" in the region.He blamed Washington for a military coup that toppled leftist President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras in June and criticized a US agreement with Colombia that allows US troops greater access to seven of that country@@@s military bases."They are obviously the real intentions of the empire, this time under the friendly smile and African-American face of Barack Obama," Castro said.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
