Tensions Rise as Cuba Reports Deadly Clash With Florida-Based Speedboat

  Vice President JD Vance came to the Capitol to break the tie, meaning he vote was 51-50 for a Republican point of order to dismiss the war powers resolution. Cuba has reported a deadly confrontation off its northern coast, saying its forces killed four people aboard a Florida‑registered speedboat that allegedly opened fire on Cuban border troops. According to Cuba’s Interior Ministry, the vessel was detected roughly one nautical mile northeast of the El Pino canal in Cayo Falcones before the encounter escalated.  When Cuban Border Guard officers approached the boat for identification, those on board reportedly began shooting, injuring the commander of the Cuban patrol vessel.

Russia Claims Sanctions Resistance Amid New U.S. Threats

 

                                           Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would
                                          start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia 
                                          in 10 days if Moscow showed no progress towards

Moscow’s Defiant Response to Trump’s Warning

The Kremlin has announced that Russia has built a “robust immunity” to Western sanctions, responding to recent threats made by former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding potential new measures. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Russia's economy and political system have adapted over time, cushioning the impact of repeated sanctions from Western nations.

This statement comes as Trump publicly suggested he would reintroduce or intensify sanctions against Moscow if re-elected, citing geopolitical tensions and ongoing global concerns.

Peskov emphasized that while sanctions once posed significant challenges, Russia’s internal restructuring, increased self-reliance, and strengthened trade partnerships—particularly with non-Western countries—have fortified its resilience. “These tools of pressure no longer yield the results their creators intended,” he said.

Analysts remain divided on the long-term effectiveness of sanctions, especially as global alliances shift and countries like Russia seek alternatives to Western-dominated financial systems.
