Cuba, be careful! Just after Russian President Putin met with the Cuban Foreign Minister, the United States took action! On February 18, AFP reported that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio held a secret meeting with Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez, the grandson of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro. The French media stated that these contacts were not through normal channels of the Cuban government, nor were they negotiations, but rather "discussions about the future."
Evidently, such meetings are highly unusual. The French media said that 41-year-old Rodríguez is seen as a "reformist" and advocates for better relations with the United States. From the current situation in Cuba, after the arrest of Maduro, it is clear that the United States is clearly targeting Cuba. Under U.S. pressure, Venezuela has cut off the vital oil supply to Cuba, and Trump has also threatened to sanction other countries that sell energy to Cuba.
Just after the Russian president met with the Cuban foreign minister to express support for Cuba, Rubio secretly met with pro-American forces within Cuba. The United States is both choking Cuba with an energy blockade and secretly contacting individuals outside the government, clearly trying to replicate the Venezuela script. That is, external extreme pressure combined with internal search for agents to force regime change. The so-called "discussion about the future" seems more like planning the details of an attack on Cuba. Clearly, Cuba must now remain vigilant to prevent the United States from acting suddenly.
