Humanitarian Pivot Under Pressure: Cuba accepted a $100M U.S. humanitarian aid offer routed through the Catholic Church as the island’s fuel crisis hit a breaking point, with Díaz-Canel saying aid is fine if it follows “recognized” humanitarian rules—while insisting Washington should lift the blockade for faster relief. Grid Collapse & Unrest: The latest blackout surge followed Cuba’s admission it has “absolutely no” diesel or fuel oil, triggering protests, road blockages, and hours-long outages across Havana and eastern provinces. CIA Diplomacy: In parallel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare Havana visit to press for “fundamental changes,” meeting Interior officials and Raúl Castro’s grandson (“Raulito”) on intelligence cooperation and security assurances. Escalating U.S. Legal Threats: Reports also say the U.S. is moving toward an indictment of Raúl Castro tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown—raising the stakes as Cuba faces both economic strangulation and political pressure.
