Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, pictured in February 2016, launched an attack on U.S. relationship with Cuba
Fidel Castro has launched a blistering attack on the US's relationship with Cuba just days after Barack Obama visited the country, writing 'we don't need the empire to give us any presents'.
The US president's visit had been intended to bury the hostility between the two countries and in a speech the former leader said it was time the nations came together 'as friends and as neighbors and as family together'.
But in a letter to 'Brother Obama' on Monday, Castro dismissed Mr. Obama's words as 'honey-coated' and reminded Cubans of the many attempts by the US to overthrow and weaken the communist government.
Mr. Obama did not meet with Castro, 89, during his three-day visit last week, nor mention him in any of his public appearances, but met several times with his 84-year-old brother Raúl Castro, the current Cuban president.
It was the first visit of a sitting US president since President Calvin Coolidge visited the country 88 years ago.
'One assumes that every one of us ran the risk of a heart attack listening to these words,' Fidel Castro wrote in response to the US leader's words in his column, run by state media.
Bristling at Mr. Obama's offer to help Cuba, he said the country was able to produce the food and material riches it needs with the efforts of its people.
'My modest suggestion is that he reflects and doesn't try to develop theories about Cuban politics.
'We don't need the empire to give us any presents,' Castro added.
