Summary

**What it does:** This bill would prohibit the U.S. government from spending any federal money to use military force in or against Cuba. **Who it affects:** - The U.S. military and Department of Defense - Cuban government and citizens - U.S. taxpayers whose money funds military operations - Congress, which would need to specifically authorize any future military action against Cuba **What would change:** If passed, the U.S. could not use existing funds for military operations involving Cuba without new congressional approval. This would create an additional legal barrier requiring lawmakers to explicitly vote before any military engagement with Cuba could be funded. Currently, some military actions can be undertaken using existing defense budgets under presidential authority. The bill is currently under review in congressional committee and has not been voted on by the full House or Senate.
