  "account": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged individuals advocating for change in Cuba to collaborate with the CIA, following President Donald Trump's assertion that Washington would address Cuba's situation post-Iran. Trump mentioned this during a Florida rally, stating that they would \"take care of Cuba\" after handling Iran and then send Rubio to finalize the deal. Rubio, who has been instrumental in Trump's Cuba-related policy, encouraged those dissatisfied with the Cuban government to \"seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership with the CIA.\" The Trump administration's objective has been to alter Cuba's communist government. The US has placed Cuba under an embargo for more than six decades, and a recent oil blockade has exacerbated fuel shortages and blackouts due to weak infrastructure. Despite maintaining an embargo, the US has intensified pressure on Cuba following a January raid where US military captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Cuba's foreign minister recently stated that Cuba remains open to dialogue with Washington. UN human rights experts have denounced the oil blockade as a breach of international law, while rights advocates criticize the Trump administration's tactics as an imperialistic approach. Trump has indicated that the US and Cuba will likely reach a deal, and he does not believe military intervention will be necessary.",
