CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Havana on May 14–15 for rare secret talks with Raúl Castro&apos;s grandson and Cuban intelligence chiefs, the highest-level US-Cuba intelligence contact in decades. Earlier, on April 16, US Treasury sanctioned Ortega&apos;s two sons and seven Nicaraguan gold mining companies in the broadest economic escalation against Managua since 2018. Paraguay on April 23 accepted the first 16 US third-country deportees under its 2025 bilateral agreement, and former Venezuelan spy chief Hugo Carvajal signaled willingness to testify against Maduro. KPIs, map points, political figures, and contested claims updated to reflect these developments.</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>US Interventions in Latin America Update — Thu May 14, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/usa-latam-interventions/#digest-2026-05-14/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/usa-latam-interventions/#digest-2026-05-14/</guid><description>Cuba&apos;s Energy and Mines Minister Vicente de la O Levy publicly declared on May 14, 2026 that the island had exhausted all fuel oil and diesel reserves.
