Some more international entry with some breaking news into us now.
We're just learning the director of the CIA has met with Cuban officials in Havana today.
Look at this.
A CIA official tells us that John Rackcliffe was in their words in Havana to personally deliver President Trump's message that the US is prepared to engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes.
It comes as the New York Times is reporting that Cuba has run out of oil.
Reserves are gone right as Cuba's been grappling with these major power outages, these blackouts.
You see some of that here.
Gas stations closed, traffic lights out, etc.
Courtney Cubie is joining us now.
We have to say really unusual for the CIA director to make a trip to Cuba to have a meeting like this.
What is the deal?
Yeah.
And he met with the head of the Ministry of Interior and with the head of the Cuban intelligence services and and what I was really struck by was the CIA official gave us a statement about this saying that one of the things they discussed was intelligence sharing.
I mean, can you believe you the heads of the US and the Cuban intelligence agencies talking about intelligence hearings is astonishing.
But so what's triggered this?
What has provoked this now?
So it it's there's several things.
Number one, the energy shortages that you talked about, the out the outages of of power.
There were huge protests across Cuba last night.
Some of the biggest ones that we've seen.
The US uh made this plea yesterday to Cuba saying, "Look, we'll give you humanitarian supplies.
will give you hund00 million in in help, but you guys are going to have to make some sort of an adjustment to how you operate down there.
But it's not really clear how that is.
It doesn't appear Cuba is going to accept that at this point.
Um, it is very clear.
President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, they talk about Cuba.
I was just going to say, yeah.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it's not surprising.
We know that there has been an increased effort, we've reported on this by administration officials, by the US to try to quick uh hasten the overthrow of the government in Cuba.
I'm not talking about them actually trying to do it, but making efforts to try to do that.
And we know that President Trump is frustrated at the pace so far.
So that could have something to do.
Is this a prod then by Ratcliffe?
I mean, is Ratcliffe going over there to kind of like poke it a little bit?
It's very possible seeing where they can find maybe a friendly player who they can speak to.
But I mean the the the it's the the intelligence agencies speaking to one another in Cuba and talking about intelligence sharing is astonishing.
When was the last time you did something like that?
You know what?
I can't find it.
I can't find a time that definitely not under the Trump administration.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm old enough to remember after Venezuela and everything that went down with Maduro, you know, the next breath almost was the president talking about Cuba.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And and I mean again, we've we are hearing here and there things from administration officials where they keep bringing up Cuba.
There is there is an a US assessment that it's possible that the regime there could fall by the end of the year without any kind of military intervention, but President Trump wants it to go faster.
Obviously, a crisis when it comes to the energy situation there, those rolling blackouts we've talked about, the protests you mentioned, Courtney Ky, much to watch.
I have a feeling we're talking about this one again tomorrow.
Appreciate you.
Thanks.
