C.I.A.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is the US government's primary agency for gathering foreign intelligence and conducting covert operations. Recent news highlights the CIA's active role in various international affairs. Specifically, the agency's focus on Latin America is evident in its involvement in Venezuela, including providing support for the capture of President Maduro and utilizing a source within the Venezuelan government and stealth drones to track him. The US is also pressuring Mexico to allow US forces to combat fentanyl labs, while the CIA has provided Mexico with a list of alleged Russian spies operating within its borders, who Mexico has allowed to stay. Furthermore, intelligence agency reshuffles in Ukraine are drawing criticism, raising concerns about operational disruptions. These events underscore the CIA's continued global presence and its involvement in complex geopolitical situations, from Latin America to Eastern Europe, and its efforts to counter perceived threats from countries like Russia.
