+++ USA +++: US-Senat will Haushaltssperre vor den Wahlen abwenden

The US Senate will abandon the budget freeze ahead of the elections, according to a report. The US Department of State announced sanctions against five companies and eight individuals involved in Cuba's military cooperation with foreign entities and arms supplies to the socialist nation. High-ranking officials such as Cuba's Minister of Revolutionary Armed Forces, Álvaro López Miera, and Cuban military attachés in Moscow and Beijing were among those listed.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the Cuban regime of sponsoring terrorism, arming violent left-wing radicals, and being a base for Russia, China, and Iran near the US coast. President Donald Trump expressed his desire to replace some of the Democratic-appointed justices on the Supreme Court, criticizing them for being liberal.

Trump also insulted Canada during a Las Vegas appearance, accusing it of being "nasty" due to trade disputes and verbal attacks. The Las Vegas economy, heavily reliant on tourism, suffered as Canadian visitors decreased following Trump's actions. Trump once again referred to the planned White House bowling alley as a "military complex," but later clarified it was still a bowling alley.

Republicans in the Senate attempted to allocate a billion US dollars for security measures and military modernization in the White House as part of the project.
