Rubio urges Cubans to work with the CIA
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Cubans seeking change to form a "discreet partnership" with the CIA. The CIA posted a video on X explaining how to contact it. President Trump said US warships could stop in Cuba on their way back from the Iran war, and Havana mocked what it called US "desperation."
Why it matters
The open call raises tension between Washington and Havana and the prospect of US intervention in Cuba.
Background
Cuba has been governed by the Communist Party since 1959 and faces a long-running US embargo. The Trump administration has said it wants a change of leadership in Havana.
