CIA Pressure Meets Energy Collapse: CIA Director John Ratcliffe landed in Havana and met Cuban Interior and intelligence officials, delivering Trump’s message that Washington will “seriously engage” only if Cuba makes “fundamental changes,” as Cuba’s fuel situation worsened to “absolutely no fuel oil” and “absolutely no diesel,” with blackouts lasting up to 22 hours and protests flaring in Havana. Humanitarian Offer, Political Strings: The U.S. formally publicized a $100M humanitarian aid offer, but Cuba’s Bruno Rodríguez said it wants details and insists aid must not be political leverage—while urging the U.S. to de-escalate the blockade. Legal Threats Loom: The week also brought fresh pressure signals, including reports that the U.S. is moving to indict former leader Raúl Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown. Geopolitical Backdrop: Russia reiterated it will keep contacts and support Cuba amid the U.S. energy blockade, while U.S. surveillance flights near the island reportedly increased. Local Market Friction: Even as the state struggles, new dollar-priced fuel sales via online platforms are widening the divide between those who can pay and those who can’t.
