CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Havana, Cuba, on Thursday to discuss the “current scenario,” Cuba’s government said.

In a Thursday statement, Cuba’s government said Ratcliffe arrived with a delegation as part of a “request” from Washington, which was approved. Ratcliffe met with his counterpart in Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior on Thursday, a meeting that was held “in a context characterized by the complexity of bilateral relations, in order to contribute to political dialogue between the two nations, as part of the efforts to address the current scenario,” the statement said.
