The U.S. Senate voted 51-47 on April 28, 2026, to block a Democratic war powers resolution that would have required congressional authorization before any military action against Cuba, with Republican Sen. Rick Scott raising a procedural point of order and only two GOP senators — Susan Collins and Rand Paul — breaking ranks. The vote caps a pattern of failed Democratic efforts to constrain President Trump's expanding military posture in the Caribbean, including Operation Southern Spear's oil blockade that has reduced Cuba's fuel imports by roughly 90%, triggering a humanitarian crisis condemned by UN human rights experts as a violation of international law.
