Senate Republicans block measure to stop Trump from attacking Cuba
The 51-47 vote blocked Democrats from forcing a congressional check on any Cuba strike as Kaine said the U.S. blockade already amounts to hostilities.
- Senate Democrats on Tuesday failed to force a vote on a resolution limiting President Trump's military authority over Cuba, with Republicans blocking the measure in a 51-47 tally.
- Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine introduced the resolution to preempt potential military action, following Trump's repeated threats to intervene in Cuba after completing operations in Iran.
- Kaine argued the United States is already engaged in hostilities through a "devastating economic blockade" by the Coast Guard that disrupts medical care and spikes food prices across Cuba.
- Dismissing the resolution as "moot," GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida argued the U.S. remains uninvolved in combat, while Republicans defended the president's broad authority to use force.
- State Department officials noted Trump "will not let the island collapse into a major national security threat" if Cuba's leadership fails to act, signaling conditional openness to diplomacy.
