AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoEnergy Crisis Hits Breaking Point: Cuba’s grid is collapsing under a fuel blockade, with the island running out of oil and diesel and facing 22-hour blackouts that sparked street protests in Havana—people blocked roads and demanded “Turn on the lights.” Diplomacy Under Pressure: As talks continue, CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare Havana visit, meeting Cuban interior officials and delivering Trump’s message that Washington is ready to engage on economic and security issues if Cuba makes “fundamental changes.” Aid With Strings: The U.S. is publicly restating a $100 million “humanitarian” offer, but only if Cuba agrees to “meaningful reforms,” while Cuba’s foreign minister says the offer must be free of political maneuvering. Legal Escalation: The U.S. is also moving toward indicting Raúl Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, a move that could further harden tensions even as the CIA visit signals high-stakes backchannel talks.
