Summary

CIA Director John Ratcliffe meets with Cuban officials amidst an energy crisis, with oil reserves depleted and sixty-five percent of the country in darkness. Cuba denies posing a security threat and blames the U.S. fuel blockade for the shortage. Protests erupt in Havana neighborhoods, while the U.S. offers aid through the Catholic Church, and Cuba urges the U.S. to lift the blockade. High-level talks are scheduled for April tenth, as both sides explore potential changes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
