Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Cubans seeking political change to discreetly cooperate with the CIA, writing on X "The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA." Rubio did not identify a specific operation or explain what such cooperation would involve. Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, has long pushed for a tougher U.S. approach to Havana and has opposed normalizing relations without political reforms. President Donald Trump separately suggested at a Fort Myers rally that U.S. ships might stop near Cuba and teased sending Rubio to the island to "finish up the deal," though Trump gave no details about any military or diplomatic plan. Fox News Digital contacted the CIA, State Department, White House and the Cuban Embassy in Washington for comment.
