Breaking news, CBS News has learned the United States is taking steps to indict Raul Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba and brother of Fidel Castro. 
According to US officials familiar with the matter, the potential indictment is in connection with the 1996 downing of a plane operated by a humanitarian group. 
Now, the news comes as a CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba today to meet with government officials. 
Sources at the agency tell CBS News the meeting was to present Cuba with steps its government must do in order to build a productive relationship with the US. 
Cuban officials say they shared evidence with Ratcliffe showing the country poses no national security threat. 
The US continues to enforce an oil and energy blockade on the island nation, and Cuba now says it has run out of oil reserves.
