Fidel Castro blasts Obama's trip: Cuba doesn't need 'empire' for anythingBy Patrick Oppmann, CNNUpdated 12:36 PM ET, Tue March 29, 2016

As Cubans debate the impact of President Barack Obama's historic trip to the island last week, one prominent figure is lambasting the visit: Fidel Castro.

In a full page column titled "Brother Obama," published in the Cuban communist-party newspaper Granma, the former Cuban president rejectedObama's visit and words of reconciliation.

"We don't need the empire to give us anything," Castro wrote, referring to the United States, in his acidly critical and rambling column.
