US Secretary of State Marco Rubio encouraged Cubans seeking political change to discreetly partner with the CIA.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio encouraged Cubans seeking political change to establish discreet partnerships with the Central Intelligence Agency. This appeal was made in the context of broader American policy discussions regarding Cuba's political future.
The remarks follow previous statements by President Trump suggesting potential U.S. intervention. Cuba's government has responded with derision, characterizing the U.S. approach as desperate. The situation reflects a long-standing tension between the two nations and differing visions for Cuba's governance.
