US urges Cubans to work with CIA to bring about political change
President Donald Trump again raised the prospect of military intervention in Cuba.
The United States has urged Cubans to partner with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in pursuit of political transformation on the island. In a post on X, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged dissatisfied Cubans to take action. This call comes as Donald Trump again floated the idea of military intervention in Cuba, suggesting American warships, recently returned from the Iran conflict, could patrol off the country's shores.
Havana has vehemently rejected these threats. The CIA has bolstered its outreach with a Spanish-language video explaining how potential informants could reach out. Havana's Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío dismissed the initiative as indicative of American desperation. These moves follow President Trump's suggestion at a Florida campaign rally that American warships could visit Cuba after operations against Iran.
