Senate Democrats on Tuesday tried to force a vote on a measure to prevent President Trump from launching a military attack on Cuba, as he repeatedly threatens action against the island.
But Republicans blocked the procedural vote from moving forward, arguing that the U.S. isn't engaged in hostilities with Cuba. The issue is "moot," GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said.
Democrats are seeking to get ahead of the president on Cuba after he took unilateral action against Venezuela and Iran.
The resolution was introduced in March by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who has also spearheaded the efforts in the Senate to rein in Mr. Trump on Venezuela and Iran. More than half a dozen votes related to military action in those countries have yielded similar results, with most Republicans voting down restrictions on military action and defending the president's broad authority to use military force.
"I've never heard the suggestion that Cuba poses an imminent security threat to the United States," Kaine said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.
Since the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January, Mr. Trump has warned that he has had his sights set on Cuba. He has said that he believed he would have "the honor of taking Cuba" and that "Cuba's going to be next."
Earlier this month, Mr. Trump said military action against Cuba is still on the table.
"We may stop by Cuba after we're finished with this," he said, referring to the Iran war.

“I’ve never heard the suggestion that Cuba poses an imminent security threat to the United States,” Kaine said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.”
Bay of Pigs? Cuban missile crisis? For all we know Cuba houses Russian or Chinese missiles. Not saying Cuba is a threat but who knows? Cuba is unfinished business just like Iran.
The Cuban government and IRGC are more amenable than our democrats, who are scum of the earth.
Well if Trump goes to Cuba, he better do better than JFK and the Bay of Pigs.”If you ride with a man, you side with him. You don’t do that you’re nothing but animals”
Could be the GOP is afraid some republicans will side with the rats. Just call it hypothetical for now while we rattle cages-guess who’s cage?
True. It’s why I say the last place that gets nuked is DC. Ain’t none of that trash has the balls to say “Let’s Go”, but Trump. IMO
Tim Caine looks just like a Mine Car driver out at Disney World at Disney l
Demoncrats shouldn’t have war powers.
Half are too stupid about US history to even know what WWII means:
“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar faced a brutal round of mockery online after an embarrassing moment resurfaced of her flubbing the pronunciation of the Second World War.
The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11,’ read the Democrat.“
She actually said World War Eleven!
So the Senate Republicans are good for something...
Why are these ‘Rats not exporting themselves to Cuber?
Seriesly, People....
Anymore doubt that the “Democrat Party” is the Communist Party.
What’s with the word “Cuber”? I’m a Cuban American and just curious.
He can drive? Who knew? 😃
It’s the real, JFK’s idiomatic New England, pronunciation of “Cuba”.
