US Senate Blocks Effort to Restrict Trump’s Military Action on Cuba

The US Senate voted 51–47 along party lines to block a resolution that would have required congressional approval before any strike on Cuba. Republicans argued there are no active hostilities against the island nation. Under President Trump, US forces have carried out operations near Venezuela and launched actions linked to Iran without formal authorization from Congress. Trump has warned that “Cuba is next” but has not provided details on any planned strike. The White House maintains that such actions fall within the president’s rights and duties as commander-in-chief to safeguard national security. Source: Reuters
