Senate blocks Cuba war-powers vote as Trump threats loom

Democrats sought to force a vote on a measure to block President Trump from launching a military attack on Cuba, but Republicans blocked the procedural move, arguing the U.S. isn’t currently in hostilities and the issue is moot. Introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine in March, the resolution reflects ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s war-authority actions amid tensions with Cuba and parallels to past votes on Venezuela and Iran, while diplomacy continues to be pursued.

Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie aim to force a vote on a similar measure, though last-minute scheduling delays could push it to next week. The moves occur as the United States maintains a visible military posture near Iran and diplomacy continues, with Trump pressing Tehran in broader nuclear talks.
