Rubio urges Cubans to partner with CIA for political change is one event reported by 49 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.

What did Marco Rubio urge Cubans to do?

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Cubans seeking political change to enter into a "discreet partnership" with the CIA. He posted on X that "now is the time" for those who want to create positive change on the island to seize this opportunity.

Rubio's call on X was made shortly after President Donald Trump suggested the United States might take action against Cuba, including sending ships near its coast. Trump indicated that after operations in Iran concluded, the US would address Cuba, mentioning a naval presence.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez alluded to the statements in a post on X, rejecting US threats and stating that Cuba's coasts are inhospitable to those with hostile intentions. CNN contacted the Cuban presidency and foreign ministry for comment.
