Marco Rubio calls on Cubans to partner with CIA as Trump promises to 'take care of Cuba'
Rubio urged those disappointed by Cuba's government to "seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership with the CIA," without elaborating further.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Cubans seeking change to collaborate with the CIA, following President Donald Trump's promise to handle the situation with Cuba post-Iran negotiations. Trump assured a Florida rally that the US will address the Cuba crisis, with Rubio set to conclude the deal. The former Senate candidate emphasized that those desiring positive change in Cuba should now seize the moment and cooperate discreetly with the CIA.
The Trump administration aims to alter Cuba's communist government, having maintained an embargo for over six decades. Washington's recent oil blockade has crippled the nation, causing fuel shortages and blackouts due to deteriorating infrastructure. The administration has ramped up pressure on Havana after a deadly US raid in Venezuela.
Cuba's foreign minister stated that the island remains open to dialogue with Washington, while UN rights experts accuse the oil blockade of violating international law. Trump predicts an agreement with Cuba, dismissing the need for military intervention.
