Senate Republicans on Tuesday killed a Democratic resolution that would have required President Trump to get Congress’s approval to keep blockading Cuba. The GOP’s maneuver to dismiss the war powers resolution succeeded on a 51-47 vote, with Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania the lone Democrat to vote with Republicans. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky were the only Republicans to support the Democrats’ resolution. The U.S. blockade has plunged Cuba into an energy crisis, leaving millions without reliable power or clean water.
