佛羅里達州對前古巴總統勞爾·卡斯楚提出新的指控。
These charges are about shooting down a plane in 1996.

Florida's top lawyer, James Uthmeier, brought charges on Monday.

This state charge is conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. It is based mainly on a federal indictment announced in May.

控告書稱,1996年2月24日,三架未武裝的塞斯納飛機從邁阿密-戴德縣的奧帕洛卡機場起飛。
Cuban MiG jets destroyed two of the planes with air-to-air missiles. This was far outside Cuban waters.
在古巴領海之外很遠的地方,古巴米格戰機用空對空導彈摧毀了其中兩架民用飛機。

This year, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel called the federal charges a political trick.

Castro became president in 2006. He took over from his sick brother, Fidel Castro.

He later gave power to Díaz-Canel in 2018.

At the same time, US President Donald Trump has been threatening military action against Cuba.
與此同時,美國總統唐納德·特朗普一直威脅對古巴採取軍事行動。
This came after US soldiers caught Nicolás Maduro. He was a long-time ally of Cuba and a former president of Venezuela.

Earlier this year, the White House helped remove the Venezuelan leader. Then it ordered ships to stop and cut off fuel to Cuba.
