Joseph Wippl,<\/a> Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the <\/span>Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University,<\/a>\u00a0was recently interviewed on the\u00a0<\/span>trade-regulation debate over\u00a0President Barack Obama\u2019s new <\/span>12-page directive <\/a>on trade and travel to Cuba that also contains a provision that\u00a0<\/strong>instructs the U.S. director of national intelligence to cooperate with Cuban intelligence services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wippl was quoted in an Oct. 20, 2016 article in\u00a0The Miami Herald<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled “New Trade-Regulation Debate: Should the U.S. Share Intelligence with Cuba?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

From the text of the article:<\/div>\n

Joseph Wippl, a former Central Intelligence Agency officer who spent 30 years in the agency\u2019s National Clandestine Service, said that was not the case today. Cuba no longer poses a serious threat to the United States, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think probably the intelligence relationship we\u2019d have with Cuba is like the one we have with Russia,\u201d he said. \u201cWill they continue to spy against us? I would think so. Would we continue to spy against them? I would think so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite that adversarial relationship, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have agreed to share intelligence on Islamic State militants. Wippl, who teaches intelligence studies at Boston University, sees a similar scenario in which the United States shares information on a limited basis in specific areas, such as counternarcotics.<\/span><\/p>\n
