HAVANA , Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro's first public comments on the restoration of U.S.-Cuba relations indicate his cautious approval.
"I do not trust the policy of the United States nor have I exchanged a word with them," he wrote. "This does not mean, however, that I would oppose a peaceful solution to conflicts or threats of war," Castro, 88, wrote in a letter published Monday in Granma, the state-run newspaper.
