菲德尔・卡斯特罗回应奥巴马：我们不需要你的“礼物”
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has issued his first response to US President Barack Obama's historic trip to the country last week.
古巴前领导人菲德尔·卡斯特罗对美国总统奥巴马的古巴之行做出首次回应。
In an article in Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma, the elder Castro suggests Obama was simply attempting to 'sweet-talk' the Cuban people during his visit.
He goes on to warn of US overtures, saying the Cuban people need to remember past US aggression against Cuba, as well as the current trade embargo.
The White House has since responded to Fidel Castro's article.
Spokesperson Josh Earnest says they believe this is a sign that Obama's trip has accomplished what it needed to.
"The fact that the former president felt compelled to respond so forcefully to the president's visit, I think is an indication of the significant impact of President Obama's visit to Cuba."
