Unlike the prior presidents, this one is actually representative of the people's will, and he actually serves as a public servant instead of putting himself or his wife first. https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2055034618961658133/video/1

RT @DefenseBulletin: One thing that wasn’t mentioned, but was likely discussed, is the ongoing U.S. blockade of the embattled nation, which is now causing severe energy shortages, with the Cuban minister of energy stating just today that “we have absolutely no fuel, and absolutely no diesel.”
This meeting follows U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s announcement two days ago that “Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk!!!”

According to Barak Ravid, citing a CIA official, CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Cuban Minister of Interior Lazaro Alvarez Casas and the head of Cuban intelligence, and discussed economic and security issues. However, per the report from Ravid, such cooperation will only be possible if Cuba makes a serious effort to deter U.S. adversaries from using Cuba as a springboard for U.S. adversaries, such as Russia and China.

President Trump: “When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct.

Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women's sports, DEl, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!

President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K's, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEl, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list.

In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time.

Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!”

🇨🇺🇺🇸 The head of CIA John Ratcliffe visited Cuba on Thursday, the Cuban side informed.

In Havana, Ratacliffe met with Cuban government officials to discuss a number of topics. The statement from the Cuban government says:

"The evidence provided by the Cuban side and the exchanges held with the US delegation categorically demonstrated that Cuba does not constitute a threat to US national security, nor are there legitimate reasons to include it on the list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism."

3 Republicans voted Yes (in favor of restricting military action):Thomas Massie (R-KY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Tom Barrett (R-MI).

1 Democrat voted No (against the resolution):Jared Golden (D-ME) — the lone Democrat opposing it.

The U.S. House voted 212-212 on a War Powers Resolution to restrict military action against Iran. The measure failed, needing a majority to pass. https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2055032427815252475/video/1 - Open Source Intel

RT @LyleJMorris: Secretary Hegseth was seen speaking with Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun during the banquet event. Expect the two to meet tomorrow and discuss mil-mil.

Very rare for a U.S. SecDef to accompany POTUS during a high-level summit. In fact, it marks the first time a U.S. president has traveled to China with his defense secretary since Richard Nixon in 1972.

RT @KellieMeyerNews: 🚨A CIA official confirming to me that Dir. Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba today.

I'm told Ratcliffe traveled to Havana to "initiate substantive discussions on the essential steps the Cuban regime must do to build a productive relationship with the United States."

Per the official tells me, "He emphasized that the U.S. is extending a genuine opportunity for collaboration, and—as evidenced by Venezuela—President Trump must be taken seriously."

NEW: A CIA official tells me @NewsNation that CIA Dir. Ratcliffe traveled to Havana today.

I am told that he went to 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."

"During the meeting, 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.”

Director Ratcliffe met with Cuban officials, including Raulito Rodriguez Castro, Minister of Interior Lazaro Alvarez Casas, and the head of Cuban intelligence services in Havana, the official said. - Kellie Meyer
