多名知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,中情局局长约翰·拉特克利夫上周访问哈瓦那,与古巴高级官员举行罕见会谈期间,携同了今年早些时候参与美国抓捕时任委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗行动的一名行动人员。
在马杜罗被捕前,委内瑞拉与古巴曾是盟友。古巴政府曾表示,在1月的抓捕马杜罗行动中,有32名古巴军警人员丧生。
多名消息人士称,拉特克利夫特意向古巴方面介绍这名准军事领导人,称其就是在委内瑞拉杀害古巴人的凶手。
这名准军事军官仅在数月前参与抓捕了古巴政府的关键盟友,其在场可能意在传递某种信号。
中情局拒绝置评。
此次访问前,美国已对古巴施加了数月压力。本届政府威胁将对任何向该岛国出口石油的国家征收高额关税,此举已导致古巴出现严重燃油短缺。
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥曾表示,古巴需要进行根本性的经济和政治改革。特朗普总统则提出要“友好接管”这座自1959年古巴共产主义运动掌权以来一直令美国历届政府头疼的岛屿。

马杜罗突袭行动结束数小时后,卢比奥提及古巴与委内瑞拉的联系,告诉记者委内瑞拉“整个间谍机构”都“充斥着古巴人”。
他说:“如果我住在哈瓦那,身在政府之中,至少会有一点担忧。”
一名中情局官员称,拉特克利夫向古巴传递了一则信息:美国“准备好就经济和安全问题进行严肃接触,但前提是古巴必须做出根本性变革”。

一名中情局官员上周向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,拉特克利夫会晤的人物之一是劳尔·罗德里格斯·卡斯特罗,或称“劳利托”,即古巴前总统劳尔·卡斯特罗的孙子。不到一周后,美国联邦法院公开了针对这位94岁高龄的老卡斯特罗的起诉书,指控其在1996年古巴击落两架美国飞机的事件中犯有谋杀罪和共谋罪。
美国间谍头目与卡斯特罗家族成员的会面,笼罩在冷战对抗的阴影之下——这场对抗在半个多世纪里定义了美古两国关系。古巴官员大概率记得美国暗中破坏菲德尔·卡斯特罗政府的历史,尤其是在失败的猪湾入侵事件以及肯尼迪政府主导的旨在颠覆古巴共产主义政府的秘密行动“猫鼬行动”启动之后。
美古关系至今仍受这段动荡历史的影响。卢比奥周四告诉记者,古巴“不仅多年来从俄罗斯和中国获取武器,还在本国境内为俄罗斯和中国的情报人员提供据点”。
一名中情局官员上周称,拉特克利夫与古巴官员讨论了“安全问题”,背景前提是古巴“再也不能成为西半球敌对势力的避风港”。
与此同时,随着紧张局势升级,美国情报界一直在研究古巴可能对美国军事行动作出的反应,哥伦比亚广播新闻本周早些时候曾报道。CBS新闻还证实,古巴已获取攻击型无人机。
古巴国家主席米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔·贝穆德斯本周表示,古巴“不对美国构成任何威胁”,但他警告称,如果美国发动军事打击,将会引发“流血惨案”。

CIA director brought paramilitary leader involved in Maduro capture to Cuba meeting, sources say
2026-05-22T17:49:00-0400 / CBS News
When CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Havana last week for a rare meeting with senior Cuban officials, he brought along one of the operators involved in the U.S. mission to capture then-Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, multiple people familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Venezuela and Cuba were allies before Maduro’s arrest, and the Cuban government has said 32 of its military and police officers were killed in the January operation to extract Maduro.
Ratcliffe made a point of introducing the paramilitary leader to the Cubans as the one who killed their people in Venezuela, several sources said.
The presence of a paramilitary officer who was involved in capturing a key partner of the Cuban government just months earlier may have been intended to send a signal.
The CIA declined to comment.
Ratcliffe’s visit followed months of pressure on Cuba. The administration has threatened steep tariffs on any countries that export oil to the island nation, leading to severe fuel shortages.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the country needs to make fundamental economic and political reforms, and President Trump has floated a “friendly takeover” of the island, which has vexed U.S. administrations since Cuba’s communist movement rose to power in 1959.

Hours after the Maduro raid, Rubio pointed to Cuba’s ties to Venezuela, telling reporters that Venezuela’s “whole spy agency” was “full of Cubans.”
“If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned, at least a little bit,” he said.
A CIA official said Ratcliffe delivered a message to Cuba that the U.S. is “prepared to seriously engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes.”

One of the figures that Ratcliffe met with was Raúl Rodriguez Castro, or “Raulito,” the grandson of former Cuban President Raúl Castro, the CIA official told CBS News last week. Less than a week later, an indictment against the 94-year-old elder Castro was unsealed in U.S. federal court, charging him with murder and conspiracy for Cuba’s fatal downing of two planes in 1996.
The meeting between an American spy chief and a member of the Castro family carried the long shadow of a Cold War struggle that helped define relations between Washington and Havana for more than half a century. Cuban officials likely remember the history of covert American efforts to undermine the government of Fidel Castro, particularly after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and the launch of Operation Mongoose, the clandestine campaign overseen by the Kennedy administration to destabilize the island’s communist government.
Relations between the U.S. and Cuba are still impacted by that fraught history. Rubio told reporters Thursday that Cuba “not only has weapons that they’ve acquired from Russia and China over the years, but they also host Russia and Chinese intelligence presence in their country.”
A CIA official said last week Ratcliffe discussed “security issues” with Cuban officials “against the backdrop that Cuba can no longer be a safe haven for adversaries in the Western Hemisphere.”
Meanwhile, as tensions rise, the U.S. intelligence community has been exploring how Cuba might respond to American military action, CBS News reported earlier this week. CBS News has also confirmed that Cuba has acquired attack drones.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez said this week Cuba “poses no threat” to the U.S., but he warned of a “bloodbath” if the U.S. military carries out strikes.
