Illinois0:13Representative Jonathan Jackson raised0:15the blockade issue during questioning.0:17Ambassador Mike Waltz did not mince0:19words in his response, calling Jackson's0:22claim absolute propaganda and accusing0:24him of repeating what Waltz called Cuban0:26propaganda. The semantic distinction0:28carries real legal weight. Under0:30international law, a blockade is0:32considered an act of war, a coercive0:35measure that can trigger self-defense0:36rights. An embargo, by contrast, is a0:39trade restriction, not a military0:41action. Ambassador Waltz insisted the0:43administration's policy is an embargo,0:45not a blockade, but the reality of0:47stepped-up enforcement actions around0:48Cuba has led some lawmakers and legal0:50experts to question whether the0:52administration is accurately describing0:54its own policy. While Ambassador Waltz0:56defended the administration's language,0:58the exchange underscores a broader0:59debate over how the US describes its1:01posture toward Cuba and whether that1:03description matches actions on the1:04water.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
