Capitol Hill Battles White House Over War Powers
Squabbles between Capitol Hill and the White House over war powers are nothing new, but recent Democrat-backed efforts to restrict President Donald Trump’s military authority have been gaining traction, as Congress challenges Trump’s actions in the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe.
Now, Democrats in the Senate are preparing a vote on whether or not the administration can use force against Cuba.
Since the Department of Justice unveiled charges against 94-year-old former Cuban president Raúl Castro, multiple Cabinet-level officials have been ramping up pressure on the island nation.
“This isn’t a show indictment,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Wednesday of Castro, who is facing murder charges for the fatal downing of two planes carrying American citizens in 1996. “There was a warrant issued for his arrest, so we expect that he will show up here [in America] by his own will or by another way.”
The prosecution of Castro is reminiscent of the prosecution of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on drug trafficking charges, which the administration used as justification for the arrest of the head of state in a military operation.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also indicated the administration is dead serious about Cuba.
