支持者援引特朗普的威胁及美军备战相关报道
- 参议员们辩称古巴并未对美国构成重大威胁
- 越来越多共和党人担忧特朗普发动多场军事行动
华盛顿，5月20日（路透社）——一群美国民主党参议员周三提出一项决议，旨在阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统动用军事力量打击古巴，与此同时特朗普政府通过起诉前总统劳尔·卡斯特罗，加大了对这个岛国政府的施压力度。
来自弗吉尼亚州的民主党议员蒂姆·凯恩、加利福尼亚州的亚当·希夫以及亚利桑那州的鲁本·加列戈提出了一项《战争权力决议》，禁止美国武装力量对这个由共产党执政的岛国动用武力。

他们援引了这位共和党籍总统多次威胁派遣军队推翻哈瓦那政府的言论，以及美国南方司令部已受命制定作战计划的报道，尽管古巴并未对美国构成重大国家安全威胁。
“美国军方是世界上最优秀的，但在对美国没有明确益处的情况下，我们的军人不应该被派往险境，”凯恩说道。他一直致力于推动国会落实宪法条款，即只有国会而非总统拥有宣战权。
在罕见的对特朗普的批评声中，由共和党掌控的参议院周二投票推进一项决议，要求除非政府获得国会授权，否则结束针对伊朗的战争。这是今年参议院第八次提出此类决议。
尽管包括部分共和党议员在内的国会议员都对特朗普多次部署美军感到担忧，但目前尚不清楚这项古巴战争权力决议在特朗普所在共和党以53票对47票占据多数席位的参议院中会有何种结果。
上个月，参议院以51票对47票的结果，几乎完全沿党派路线投票否决了一项类似的古巴战争权力决议。当时共和党方面辩称，美国并未与古巴发生实际敌对行动，因此该决议没有必要。
特朗普已通过实施燃油封锁加大了对古巴的施压力度，此举引发了持续不断的停电，并给这个岛国本已举步维艰的经济带来新的打击。
“我国当前最不需要的，就是基于对本土的虚假威胁而发动针对古巴的政权更迭战争，这会摧毁古巴人民，并引发人为的移民危机，”凯恩在一份声明中说道。

Summary
Backers cite Trump’s threats, reports of military planning
- Senators argue that Cuba poses no significant threat to US
- More Republicans concerned about Trump’s many military campaigns
WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) – A group of Democratic U.S. senators introduced a resolution to stop President Donald Trump from using the military against Cuba on Wednesday, as his administration escalated pressure on the island’s government by indicting former President Raul Castro.
Democrats Tim Kaine of Virginia, Adam Schiff of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona introduced a War Powers Resolution to block the use of the U.S. armed forces against the Communist-ruled island.

They cited the Republican president’s repeated threats to send in the troops to change the government in Havana and reports that the U.S. Southern Command has been ordered to draw up attack plans, even though Cuba does not pose a significant national security threat to the U.S.
“The U.S. military is the best in the world, but our servicemembers shouldn’t be sent into harm’s way when there’s no clear benefit to the United States,” said Kaine, a leader of efforts in Congress to enforce the Constitution’s provision that the legislature, not the president, has the power to declare war.
In a rare rebuke to Trump, the Republican-majority Senate voted on Tuesday to advance a resolution to end the Iran war unless the administration obtains Congress’ authorization. It was the eighth time this year such a resolution was introduced in the Senate.
Although members of Congress, including some Republicans, are concerned about Trump’s multiple deployments of U.S. forces, it was not immediately clear how a Cuba war powers resolution would fare in a chamber where Trump’s fellow Republicans hold a 53-47 majority.
Last month, the Senate voted by 51 to 47, almost entirely along party lines, to block a similar Cuba war powers resolution. At the time, Republicans argued that there were no active U.S. hostilities against Cuba, so the resolution was unnecessary.
Trump has increased pressure on Cuba by imposing a fuel blockade that has triggered sustained power outages and dealt fresh blows to the island’s already struggling economy.
“The last thing that our country needs right now is a regime change war in Cuba based on imaginary threats to the homeland that would devastate the Cuban people and generate a man-made migration crisis,” Kaine said in a statement.
