John Ratcliffe reportedly said the US president expects fundamental changes from Cuba
CIA Director John Ratcliffe has paid a rare visit to Havana to deliver a message from US President Donald Trump to the Cuban leadership amid a US-imposed fuel blockade of the island.
According to Reuters, it was the first time a CIA chief had visited Cuba since the Communist Revolution in the 1950s.
Cuba's Interior Ministry disclosed the previously unannounced trip on Thursday. The CIA later acknowledged the visit by posting photos on X showing Ratcliffe meeting officials in Havana.
Ratcliffe delivered "Trump's message that the United States is prepared to seriously engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes," an unnamed CIA official told Reuters.
