CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba to meet with intelligence officials and Raul Rodriguez Castro, grandson of former leader Raul Castro, who has had previous meetings with U.S. officials as the island teeters on the brink of collapse.
A CIA official told NBC News that Ratcliffe went there to "personally deliver President Trump's message that the United States is prepared to seriously engage on economic and security issues, but only if Cuba makes fundamental changes."
