Donald Trump has waded into the controversies surrounding the death of former Cuban leader
Fidel Castro.
After a four-word tweet shortly after 8 a . m.

"Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads , theft , unimaginable suffering , poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights, " the statement said .
"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. "
Trump added : " 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 . "
