Director of the CIA visits Cuba and offers to end its shortage problems in exchange for reforms
John Ratcliffe, director of the CIA, met with Cuban officials to demand changes in their policy in exchange for ending their shortage problems
Surprisingly, John Ratcliffe, director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), led an American delegation that traveled to Havana for to meet with high-level Cuban officials with the objective of offering to put an end to their shortage problems in exchange for implementing some reforms.
Due to the intensification of the trade blockade implemented for decades by the US government, the Caribbean island faces the c collapse of its energy sector due to the lack of oil and fuel required by its population to carry out their daily activities.
The Cuban government claims that the United States has prevented them from receiving crude shipments and, for more than four months, only a freighter from Russia arrived to the island, which has complicated the life of millions of citizens on the island.
The strategy implemented by Donald Trump has the Cuban government in a quite complex condition and the visit of John Ratcliffe is considered erada the first step to force him to give on several issues or otherwise the restrictions could be increased in a matter of days.
“Following the request presented by the government of the United States for a delegation chaired by the director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, to be received in Havana, the D "The Revolutionary Board approved the carrying out of this visit and the meeting with its counterpart from the Ministry of the Interior," the Cuban government noted in a statement.
During the meeting held with the group of Americans sent by Washington, the Cuban authorities ruled out representing “a threat to the national security of the United States” and to their exposed on that there are “legitimate reasons” to include the Caribbean nation in the list of alleged sponsors of terrorism as the United States intends to do so by ensuring that they harbor those types of individuals.
For several weeks, Donald Trump warned about the possibility of implementing an intervention in Cuba after ending the war conflict in which he is immersed in Iran.
However, the Cuban authorities indicated they were willing to confront any type of threat that puts their sovereignty at risk.
Under this approach, the visit of the head of the CIA is interpreted as one of the last attempts by the United States to negotiate agreements to implement economic and governance reforms to attract foreign investment to the island.
