Senator Tim Kaine says if anyone did to the US ‘what we are doing to Cuba’, it would be considered ‘an act of war’.
The United States Senate has blocked a resolution that would have prevented President Donald Trump from ordering military action against Cuba without congressional approval.
The Republican-led Senate voted 51 to 47 on Tuesday, almost entirely along party lines, on a procedural measure that blocked a Democratic-led war powers resolution, as members of Trump’s party argued that there are no active US hostilities against Cuba and curbing the president’s powers was not necessary.
