"Senator Tim Kaine stated, 'If anyone were doing to the United States what we are doing to Cuba, we would definitely regard it as an act of war.' He emphasized that U.S. actions against Cuba, including blocking fuel shipments, constitute military engagement."
"Republican Senator Rick Scott argued that a war powers vote was not appropriate because Trump has not deployed troops against Havana. He expressed that real reform in Cuba requires the fall of the Castro/Diaz-Canel regime."
The U.S. Senate blocked a resolution to limit President Trump's military actions against Cuba. The vote was 51 to 47, primarily along party lines. Republican Senator Rick Scott argued that a war powers vote was unnecessary since no troops had been deployed. He emphasized the need for regime change in Cuba. Senator Tim Kaine contended that U.S. actions, such as blocking fuel shipments, already amounted to military engagement, stating that similar actions against the U.S. would be viewed as an act of war.
