CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Havana Thursday for a rare meeting with senior Cuban officials, including Raúl Rodríguez Castro — grandson of former Cuban President Raúl Castro. Multiple U.S. officials confirmed the U.S. is moving to indict the 94-year-old Raúl Castro in connection with Cuba's deadly 1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue.
But the author argues the real story isn't the 1996 incident — it's Obama's 2014 normalization of relations with Cuba. Obama conducted months of 'closely-held negotiations facilitated by the Vatican and Canada' with Raúl Castro, meeting with 'civil society activists' (NGOs) despite the congressional embargo. Treasury and Commerce announced regulatory changes expanding grants 'to help Cuba develop.' The author alleges Ratcliffe was in Cuba gathering evidence of a kickback scheme: taxpayer money flowing through grants to Cuban NGOs, then back into Obama's overseas bank accounts via the Vatican. Claims Trump immediately reversed Obama's Cuba policies for this reason, and notes Obama's recent emergency meeting with Canadian PM Mark Carney as 'panic in DC' over Trump's Cuba negotiations.
