Senate Blocks Democratic Cuba Measure As Trump Signals Action Soon

Democrats argued that current U.S. actions, including enforcement tied to sanctions and disruptions to fuel shipments, amounted to hostilities, Kaine said, Military.com reported.

Republicans moved to block the resolution, arguing it was out of order because the United States is not engaged in active military conflict with Cuba. Sen. Rick Scott said a war powers vote was unnecessary because no U.S. troops have been deployed, Scott said.
