As the US escalates pressure on Cuba with criminal charges against former leader Raul Castro, a member of the Castro family is warning President Donald Trump not to underestimate the communist government in Havana.
Alina Fernandez, the exiled daughter of late Cuban leader Fidel Castro, said any US military intervention against Cuba could lead to devastating consequences.
Raul Castro faces serious charges connected to the 1996 shootdown of planes operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue, which killed all four people aboard.
Fernandez shares fears of a 'bloodbath' if the US launches a military assault on Cuba, warning that the regime puts civilians on the front line.
She fled Cuba in 1993 after becoming openly critical of the communist government and now lives in Miami, describing herself as both an exile and a victim of the political system built by her father.
