Half way is allowed, and then it's off the coast of CUBA

The Straits of Florida look like they're 150 km (95 miles) from the tip of the Florida keys to Cuba. maybe it is only 90 miles from closest territorial points. Given that, anything up to 45 miles away from Cuba is Cuban waters under international law.

Just because the Senator dislikes Cuba, doesn't mean that they are not perfectly entitled to explore in this area.

Now, there may be an issue with NOT drilling in US waters offshore Florida, but it's nothing to do with CUba.
