Rubio calls on Cubans seeking "positive change" to work with CIA

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Cubans seeking positive change to collaborate with the CIA. This comes amid the Trump administration's efforts to remove Cuba's communist regime from power. In a recent post on X, Rubio wrote, "To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time." He further stated that individuals should seize this chance to bring about the desired changes through a covert partnership with the CIA.

Following Rubio's statement, the CIA reposted his message in both English and Spanish, along with a video detailing the steps necessary to contact the intelligence agency. The U.S. embargo and sanctions imposed on Cuba have resulted in skyrocketing prices for essential goods and restricted access to medical care. Cuban citizens frequently wait in long bread lines and long waits to see a doctor.

The U.S. government recently unveiled further economic sanctions on Cuba's state-run bank, alleging ties to Iran. President Trump stated during a campaign rally in South Florida that they would take care of Cuba while returning from Iran. He added that one of the U.S. Navy warships would be positioned approximately 50 yards off the coast of Cuba, with Marco Rubio joining the mission to conclude the deal.

Cuba's government has responded by rejecting any threats arising from U.S. intentions toward Cuba. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla said that their shores are lined with beautiful beaches, but they are also challenging and unsuitable for those who arrive with hostile intentions and a desire for domination.
