Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution on Cuba

  • Senate Democrats, led by Senator Tim Kaine, pushed for a resolution to limit Trump's military options regarding Cuba, citing humanitarian crises caused by the U.S. blockade.
  • Republicans dismissed the resolution, arguing the U.S. is not in hostilities with Cuba, and the vote failed 51-47, with one Democrat and two Republicans crossing party lines.
  • Kaine highlighted the blockade's impact on Cuba's healthcare and economy, claiming it constitutes an act of war.
