US Senate blocks bid to stop Trump using military against Cuba
The US Senate has blocked a resolution aimed at preventing President Trump from using military action against Cuba without congressional approval. The vote, largely along party lines, was influenced by arguments from Republican senators that there are no current hostilities with Cuba. Democratic Senator Tim Kaine contended that the US's actions against Cuba already constitute military engagement.
- ▪The Senate voted 51 to 47 to block a Democratic-led war powers resolution.
- ▪Republican Senator Rick Scott argued that a war powers vote was unnecessary as Trump has not deployed troops against Cuba.
- ▪Democratic Senator Tim Kaine claimed that US actions against Cuba represent a form of military engagement.
