Castro interview signals slow path to full U S Cuba ties
Fidel Castro says resuming full diplomatic relations with the United States is unlikely during President Carter’s term and possibly only in a future term. He cites 3,000 political prisoners, a belief the Soviet Union is the freest nation, and criticizes U S human rights policy while urging a total lift of the 1962 embargo. Castro also calls China an ally of the United States and blames the CIA for Cuba’s troubles.
