Overview
- - Senate aides said the chamber will take up a Democratic resolution next week that seeks to bar an attack on Cuba without approval from Congress.
- - The measure was introduced last month by Senators Tim Kaine, Adam Schiff, and Ruben Gallego using a fast-track process that forces a floor vote.
- - Trump has said “Cuba is next” after U.S. operations tied to Venezuela and Iran, and the White House argues limited strikes fall under his commander-in-chief authority.
- - Passage is uncertain because Republicans hold narrow majorities and have repeatedly blocked similar efforts to rein in the president’s use of force.
- - USA TODAY reported U.S. officials warned Cuba on April 10 and an unnamed source claimed a two‑week prisoner release demand, which Havana denied, underscoring rising pressure and the risk of escalation.
