National Edition News cover for April 8, 2015 - Likely Obama meeting with Castro angers Cuba critics: FILE - In this Tuesday Dec. 10, 2013 file photo, U.S. President Barack Obama shakes hands with Cuban President Raul Castro, as it rains during a memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela, at the FNB Stadium in Soweto, South Africa. Fidel Castro says his brother Raul introduced himself to Obama in English, telling him, "Mr. President, I'm Castro," as the two leaders shook hands. The Dec. 10 handshake set off speculation in the U.S. and Cuba about whether it signaled a warming of ties between the two nations after decades of animosity. U.S. and Cuban officials dismissed that, calling the handshake a mere courtesy. (AP Photo/File) SOUTH AFRICA OUT
