US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on Cuban citizens to work secretly with the CIA to bring political change to their country. He posted the message on X on Friday, while speaking at a rally in South Florida. President Trump also threatened to send US warships near Cuba for possible military action. After Rubio's post, the CIA published a video in Spanish explaining how Cubans could contact the agency. Cuban officials rejected both statements. Rubio, whose parents left Cuba before the revolution, said the US would support Cuban leaders who were willing to make political and economic reforms. Trump made his comments in South Florida, where many Cuban-American voters live.
