CIA director meets with top officials in Havana, Cuban government says

The visit came as the two countries discussed intelligence cooperation and U.S. officials pressed Cuba to make fundamental changes before broader talks.

  • On Thursday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Havana, Cuba to meet with Interior Ministry counterparts and foster political dialogue between the long-strained adversaries.
  • President Donald Trump initiated this dialogue while maintaining pressure on Cuba through a fuel blockade that has severely limited the island's power generation capability.
  • Cuban representatives asserted during the meeting that Cuba poses no threat to United States national security, presenting official evidence to support their position.
  • While both nations expressed mutual interest in enhancing security cooperation, a lack of specific details regarding Cuba's future participation remained evident after the discussions.
  • Protests erupted in Havana following prolonged power outages caused by the blockade, raising concerns over worsening conditions for Cuban citizens amid continued economic pressure.
