Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro appeared on the island's state-run television for the second time in less than a week on Friday, using the forum to again blast U.S. arms policy.
"The Yankees want to offer a world without nuclear arms," he said, adding that the United States wants to substitute conventional arms instead.
But a world limited to conventional arms would leave the United States in a position of power, he said. The 83-year-old former Cuban leader cited as an example the power of a Trident submarine to launch "in two minutes" a missile made of a material stronger than steel that could travel at speeds up to 25,000 kmh (15,000 mph).
