Cuba’s top diplomat to the United States says recent sanctions targeting the island's leadership and the indictment of former President Raúl Castro are a “pretext” for the Trump administration to persuade the American people to support a U.S. military intervention in Cuba. In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Ambassador Lianys Torres Rivera complained bitterly that the U.S. is targeting Cuban civilians with its decades-old embargo and new blockade of energy shipments to the island. She described the situation as “a war without bombs.” Trump has been threatening military action in Cuba for months, while his energy blockade has choked off fuel shipments.

U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran was responsible for shooting down an American military helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz and that the U.S. “must” respond to the attack. Trump made the comment Tuesday in a social media post after a drone boat rescued the crew of the Apache attack helicopter that crashed near the strategic waterway, which Iran has effectively closed during its war with the U.S. and Israel. It was the first known drone rescue at sea by the U.S. military. Capt. Tim Hawkins is a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. He said the unmanned boat located the two aviators and brought them to shore.
Voters across Maine, Nevada, South Carolina and North Dakota head to the polls for another day of primary elections in America, but much of the political world will be focused on Maine’s high-stakes U.S. Senate contest. The results aren’t in question. Neither Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins nor Democratic challenger Graham Platner faces serious opposition for their party’s nomination. Elsewhere, President Donald Trump’s clout within his party will be tested anew in states like South Carolina and Nevada, where he’s endorsed his favored candidates. Democrats hope to build momentum in Nevada in their broader push to reclaim key governor’s seats.
President Donald Trump is blaming Iran for downing a U.S. Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz and said the United States must respond to the attack. Trump said two Army aviators who were aboard the Apache attack helicopter Republicans when it went down Tuesday are “are safe and uninjured.” Meanwhile, Republicans hope to approve nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement which would fund Homeland Security throughout President Donald Trump’s time in office. Democrats call it a blank check that imposes no limits on agents despite the deaths of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.

A new report alleges that mismanagement at a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas produced unsafe conditions that contributed to detainees’ deaths and suffering even as millions of tax dollars were wasted on contractors. The U.S. Government Accountability Office report released Tuesday documents serious problems at Camp East Montana, a tent facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso where three detainees have died in little more than six months. The report found that key evidence in one of those deaths was “missing or destroyed.” It also found that ICE rushed to open the camp before construction was complete and failed to conduct required oversight to ensure detainees were held in sanitary conditions and receiving adequate medical care.
