CIA Director Meets Cuban Officials in Havana to Discuss Security Cooperation

According to official statements from Cuban state media, a US delegation led by CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Havana and held a rare meeting with officials from the Cuban Interior Ministry on the 14th. The Cuban government stated that both sides discussed enhancing bilateral cooperation between their law enforcement agencies to ensure national, regional, and international security. Cuba explicitly assured the US delegation that it poses no threat to American national security. Reuters witnesses confirmed a US government aircraft departed from Havana's international airport that afternoon. This high-level meeting aligns with recent remarks by US President Trump suggesting that the two historically adversarial nations would soon begin a dialogue.
