US President-elect Donald Trump lambasted deceased Cuban leader Fidel Castro as a “brutal dictator” and vowed to ensure the island nation’s liberty and prosperity in the years ahead.
“Though the tragedies, deaths and pain caused by Fidel Castro cannot be erased, our administration will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward prosperity and liberty,” Trump said in a statement.
“While Cuba remains a totalitarian island, it is my hope that today marks a move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve,” he said.
Trump says that late Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s legacy “is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.”
The CIA reportedly attempted to assassinate Castro on an incredible 638 occasions.
