Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced that Senator Rick Scott’s procedural motion prevented the passage of a resolution that would have restricted US military actions against the island.
Bruno Rodríguez called it “absurd” that the United States considers Cuba a threat, given its situation and the “brutal economic war” it faces.
The resolution, introduced by Democrats, required congressional approval for a possible military operation against Cuba, but was rejected with 51 votes against and 47 in favor.
This situation comes amid recent statements by Donald Trump about a possible intervention on the island and an executive order authorizing tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba, which Havana considers an attempt to “strangle the economy.”
