WASHINGTON — CIA Director John Ratcliffe has warned Cuban officials that the Communist island “can no longer be a safe haven for adversaries” of the US while extending an offer of cooperation on economic and national security matters — if Havana makes “fundamental changes. ” “Director Ratcliffe and Cuban officials discussed intelligence cooperation, economic stability, and security issues, all against the backdrop that Cuba can no longer be a safe haven for adversaries in the Western Hemisphere,” one CIA official said of the former Texas congressman’s Thursday visit to the Caribbean capital. Examples of Cuba being a “safe haven” include an operational Chinese spy base and potential military training facility, as well as coordination with Russia on energy needs and possibly spreading the mysterious illness afflicting US diplomats known as “Havana Syndrome.
