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.

Tensions Rise as Trump Warns Medvedev Amid US-Russia War of Words

 

                                                     Vladimir Putin pictured with former president Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently deputy                                                             chairman of the Security Council

The diplomatic rift between the United States and Russia deepened this week as former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a sharp rebuke to Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, telling him to “watch your words.” The comment came in response to Medvedev’s recent statements criticizing U.S. foreign policy and warning of consequences if Washington continues its stance on global security issues.

Trump’s remark, delivered via social media, reignited a flurry of exchanges between the two nations, with Russian officials accusing the U.S. of “provocative rhetoric” and “imperial arrogance.” Medvedev, the former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council, has been increasingly vocal in recent months, often using inflammatory language to describe Western policies.

The escalation underscores the fragile state of U.S.-Russia relations, which have been strained by ongoing conflicts, sanctions, and accusations of election interference. Analysts warn that the war of words could further complicate diplomatic efforts and fuel geopolitical instability.

While Trump no longer holds office, his influence on international discourse remains potent, and his comments continue to shape the tone of U.S. engagement abroad. The latest exchange suggests that tensions between Washington and Moscow are unlikely to cool anytime soon.
