Amid concerns that Cuba could be President Donald Trump’s next target for military action, a trio of Senate Democrats has introduced legislation aimed at blocking him from doing so.
The war powers resolution from Democratic Sens. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Adam B. Schiff of California would direct the president to “remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba,” according to text released Friday.
“As if the disaster of the Iran War and the resulting spike in oil prices weren’t enough, Trump is now threatening to intervene in Cuba as well,” Gallego said in a news release announcing the joint resolution. “He ran on America First, but now it’s clear he’s become a puppet of the war hawks in his party.”
