 "President-elect Donald Trump hails Castro's death")
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday weighed in on the death of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, tweeting simply "Fidel Castro is dead!"
Castro died yesterday aged 90 after defying the United States during a half-century of iron-fisted rule.
During his campaign, Trump threatened if elected to reverse the historic rapprochement between the two countries realised under President Barack Obama.
"Those demands will include religious and political freedom for the Cuban people and the freeing of political prisoners," he added.
