参议院共和党人阻挠民主党推动古巴战争权力投票的尝试

华盛顿讯——参议院民主党人周二试图推动就一项旨在阻止特朗普总统对古巴发动军事打击的议案进行投票,此前特朗普多次威胁要对这个岛国采取行动。

但共和党人阻挠了这项程序性投票的推进,辩称美国并未与古巴处于交战状态。佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特称,该议题“毫无意义”。

此前特朗普对委内瑞拉和伊朗采取了单边行动,民主党人希望借此在古巴问题上抢在总统之前表态。

这项决议由弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩于3月提出,他还曾牵头在参议院推动限制特朗普对委内瑞拉和伊朗动用军事力量的相关举措。此前针对这两个国家军事行动的十余次投票均出现了类似结果:大多数共和党人投票反对限制军事行动,捍卫总统动用武力的广泛权限。

“我从未听过有人认为古巴对美国构成迫在眉睫的安全威胁,”凯恩在投票前的参议院议场发言时表示。

自美军1月抓获委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗以来,特朗普就警告称他已将目光投向古巴。他曾表示,相信自己将“有幸拿下古巴”,并称“古巴将是下一个目标”。

本月早些时候,特朗普表示对古巴采取军事行动仍在考虑范围内。

“我们结束这边的行动后,可能会顺路去古巴,”他在谈及伊朗战事时说道。

美国国务卿马可·卢比奥对政府在古巴的可能目标态度更为直接,他1月在国会作证时表示,“我们非常乐见那里的政权更迭”。他称这对美国“益处极大”,同时呼吁古巴进行经济改革。特朗普政府曾表示,希望通过外交途径解决与古巴之间的关切问题,但并未排除采取某种军事行动的可能。

凯恩辩称美国其实已经与古巴处于交战状态,他援引特朗普政府对古巴实施的石油封锁,称这对古巴平民造成了毁灭性影响。凯恩还表示,如果局势反转,美国会将这种封锁视为战争行为。

“美国正在动用武力切断运往古巴的能源,”他说。

古巴领导层此前已表态,国家已做好反击任何美国侵略的准备。

随着紧张局势持续升级,两国展开了外交对话。本月早些时候,一个由美国国务院高级代表组成的代表团访问了古巴,这是自2016年巴拉克·奥巴马总统访岛以来,首次有美国政府飞机降落在古巴。

一名国务院官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,特朗普愿意通过外交途径解决美国的关切,但他“如果古巴领导人不愿或无法采取行动,绝不会坐视该岛沦为重大国家安全威胁”。

Senate Republicans block Democrats’ attempt to force Cuba war powers vote

Washington — 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.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been more direct about the administration’s possible goals in Cuba, testifying to Congress in January that “we would love to see the regime there change.” He said it would be of “great benefit” to the U.S. and has also called for economic reforms. The administration has said it is looking to resolve its concerns with Cuba through diplomacy, but has not ruled out some kind of military action.

Kaine argued the U.S. is already engaged in hostilities with Cuba, citing the Trump administration’s oil blockade on the island that has had devastating effects on civilians. Kaine said the U.S. would consider the blockade an act of war if the tables were turned.

“The U.S. is using force to block energy from going to Cuba,” he said.

Cuban leadership has said the country is ready to fight any U.S. aggression.

As tensions remain high, the two countries have engaged in diplomatic talks. A delegation of senior State Department representatives traveled to Cuba earlier this month, marking the first time a U.S. government plane has landed in Cuba since President Barack Obama traveled to the island in 2016.

A State Department official told CBS News that Mr. Trump is open to resolving the United States’ concerns through diplomacy, but he “will not let the island collapse into a major national security threat if Cuba’s leaders are unwilling or unable to act.”
