Trump Administration Expands Intelligence Operations in Cuba’s Communist Regime › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

The Trump administration has expanded U.S. intelligence operations in Cuba in recent months, according to two people familiar with the effort, as Washington intensifies pressure on the island’s communist government to reform or collapse.

One person said the United States has recently sent additional spies and intelligence assets into Cuba but declined to detail the scope of the effort or which of the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies are involved, citing concerns about compromising operations. A second person described the shift as an increase in the CIA’s presence on the island but similarly declined to give specifics. Both spoke on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the matter.

The buildup could lay groundwork for a range of options, from covert efforts to turn Cuban officials and citizens against the regime to a potential U.S. military operation. One of the people called the intelligence surge a key tactical step, though they cautioned the shape of any eventual operation remains undefined. Cuba sits just 90 miles from American shores.
