US secretary of state Marco Rubio said it was time for Cubans to seize the opportunity to bring about the change they want. (AFP pic)WASHINGTON: US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Friday called for Cubans to make "discreet" contact with the American intelligence services as Washington seeks to force an end to the island's communist government.
For months, President Donald Trump and other senior US officials have openly hinted at a military intervention or takeover of Cuba, ramping up economic, political and legal pressure on the country.
"To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba -- now is the time," Rubio said on social media.
"The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA."
