U.S. Senate Strikes Down Resolution Blocking Trump’s Cuba Move
(MENAFN) The US Senate narrowly struck down a War Powers Resolution on Tuesday that sought to bar unauthorized American military action against Cuba, clearing the path for a potential new front in Washington's expanding military agenda.
Senators voted 51-47 against the resolution, which had been introduced by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine in a bid to rein in presidential war-making authority.
The defeat comes as President Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled that Cuba is "next" following the ongoing military operation against Iran — warning that the Caribbean island nation's government will soon collapse.
Taking to the Senate floor ahead of the vote, Kaine launched a scathing broadside against the administration's military record, pulling no punches in his assessment of the Iran campaign.
"Now, he wants a new war with Cuba. My colleagues and I are firm: no new, unnecessary wars," he said.
Kaine characterized Trump's war against Iran as a "disaster" — framing the Cuba resolution as a last line of defense against what Democrats warn could become another costly and unauthorized military entanglement.
The failed vote raises urgent questions about congressional oversight of executive war powers as Trump continues to signal aggressive military posturing toward a third nation, with no formal authorization from Capitol Hill in sight.
