Trump’s CIA Chief Delivers Hammer Blow to Cuba’s Dying Regime
CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew into Havana and laid it out straight for the communist holdouts: America is ready to talk economic relief and security deals, but only if Cuba makes real fundamental changes and stops playing host to America’s enemies.
The island is collapsing. Fuel supplies are gone, blackouts are crippling, and the Castro machine is gasping for air. Ratcliffe met directly with top regime figures, including Raúl Castro’s powerful grandson “Raulito,” the interior minister, and intelligence bosses.
At the same time, the Justice Department is preparing to indict the 94-year-old Raúl Castro for his role in the 1996 shootdown of two unarmed Brothers to the Rescue civilian planes. That cold-blooded murder of Americans has never been forgotten.
This is Trump foreign policy in action: maximum pressure on a failing dictatorship that has wrecked Cuba for decades. No more Obama-style handouts or Biden weakness. The message is clear, reform or rot. The Cuban people deserve freedom, not another generation under these tyrants. The regime’s days of hiding behind Russian and Chinese influence while its citizens suffer look numbered.
