US Senate votes against measure to restrict Trump’s military actions in Cuba

The U.S. Senate has blocked a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Cuba without congressional approval, voting 51-47 along party lines. Senator Tim Kaine argued that current U.S. actions, including economic blockades, already constitute hostilities toward Cuba, which he described as an act of war if roles were reversed. Republican Senator Rick Scott contended that military action is not necessary since there are no active hostilities.
