Rubio calls on Cubans seeking change to form 'discrete partnership' with CIA
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Cubans seeking change to form a 'discrete partnership' with the CIA, the US' foreign intelligence service.
Rubio made the appeal in a social media post, stating that 'now is the time' for those looking to 'create positive change' in Cuba to act.
He framed the opportunity as a response to 'the disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few'.
The call comes as the Trump administration has repeatedly stated its goal is to bring about a change in Havana's leadership.
Escalating US pressure
The administration has ramped up pressure on Cuba, including an oil blockade following a US military operation to capture former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
President Trump has claimed the country is 'ready to fall' and stated that 'there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba - zero!'
I strongly suggest they make a deal, before it is too late.
CIA guidance for collaborators
The CIA has shared specific tips for Cubans looking to work with the agency.
