Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a bill that would have imposed sanctions on entities involved with the planning, construction, or operation of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

The bill was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and garnered “yes” votes from Cruz, 48 other Republicans, and six Democrats.
