Why the US Is Ramping up Intelligence Activity in Cuba
The move is part of a broader pressure campaign that includes sanctions, fuel restrictions and $100 million in aid tied to reforms, officials said.
- President Donald Trump's administration has increased intelligence operations in Cuba, deploying more covert agents and surveillance flights to pressure the government, according to a report by Politico Tuesday.
- Cuba has faced a deepening crisis since Trump imposed an oil blockade earlier this year, leaving the country without fuel and straining resources as Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel refuses to step down.
- Last month, the State Department issued a report accusing Cuba of a "sustained campaign of subversion" against the United States, linking the country to a left-leaning network of organizations and individuals.
- Sources told Politico that the recent increase in activity aims to bolster the CIA's "presence" in the region, despite previous intelligence efforts being hindered by the controversial Havana syndrome.
- Trump has repeatedly suggested Cuba is on the brink of collapse and hinted that the United States is prepared to stage a military intervention to force government change.
