TELL Congress: Trump is calling for regime change in Cuba and told the Pentagon to increase military preparedness for an attack on the country. He told reporters that after the war on Iran, “we may stop by Cuba.” Sign the petition: End Trump’s illegal wars NOW! No war on Cuba.
Trump told the Pentagon to ramp up military preparations for an attack on Cuba, according to recent reports.1 “We may stop by Cuba” after the war on Iran, he said.2
Trump has demanded the removal of the Cuban president and said he wants to “take” Cuba.3,4 Trump’s illegal oil embargo on Cuba has lasted for months, causing blackouts, food shortages, water scarcity, and mass suffering.5
Senator Tim Kaine announced that he will force an imminent vote on a war powers resolution to stop military action against Cuba. Congress has the opportunity, and the constitutional authority, to block Trump from launching strikes on Cuba in the coming days.
Trump is overriding Congress to wreak havoc on the world. He bombed Venezuela and kidnapped the president. He’s waging a horrific, senseless war on Iran, and is supporting Israel’s strikes on Iran and Lebanon. He threatened European allies with an invasion of Greenland. Now, he’s threatening Cuba while punishing its population with mass suffering.
Americans, and the world, are sick of Trump’s wars. “Trump has started illegal regime change conflicts in Venezuela and Iran and is now threatening Cuba,” Rep. Jayapal said last month. “These military attacks put our troops in danger, endanger innocent civilians, waste billions of taxpayer dollars, and are not what the American people want.”6
Congress must act as a real check on Trump’s power and prevent another illegal war.
