The House approved a measure to cut off U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen’s bloody civil war, in a harsh rebuke of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy.
Trump is expected to veto the measure, which passed with bipartisan support in the Senate and marks the first time in history that a War Powers resolution will reach the president’s desk.The effort was a top priority for House Democrats after they took control in January amid a worsening humanitarian crisis on the ground in Yemen.
Trump has been sending food stores bought from usa farmers. Trump has been trying to help the people of.Yemen by sending food from our farmers instead of money and war supplies. Trump didn't start our war mongering policies Obama, bush, Clinton and the rest did not trump.
AbbyMartin if trump vetos it's because of Israel.
GOOD NOW LETS GET ONE IN THERE FOR VENEZUELA
AbbyMartin Unfortunate the legislature couldn't be moved by the horrible consequences as they were occurring every day since this began; nothing has changed since 1939, when holocaust refugees were denied entry. Keep scapegoating IIhan for the failures
AbbyMartin It's about time that the legislature started acting like an autonomous body separate from the executive, instead of being an autonomic appendage
Potus’ foreign policy is mainly from joints chief of staff. When will u interview the generals
AbbyMartin By the way, we’ll see you guys in Milwaukee next year! Keep on fighting.
Yemen is having a civil war ...really? Anyway as long as funding is cut & Trump rebuked its fine by me!
AbbyMartin This was Obamas policy for 2 of those years. Yall act like trump somehow made America evil ALL OF A SUDDEN. foh
The US is one of the main actors of the 'Saudi-led coalition'. Disgraceful hypocrites
AbbyMartin YemenJobDone. Will take decades to put together again. Why not leave and leave them too it. Ref: Syria.
AbbyMartin But the US is part of the coalition so the wording here is strange. It downplays the role of the US in this atrocity. Are they also going to stop arms sales to the Saudis? If they don't, they haven't really stopped.
this should have been done a year ago now will the Dems go on TV and make their case show pictures of what has been with our bombs or show Yemen before and after
so so so incredibly sad as there is nothing left for Yemen to live under their legitimate and democratically elected government.
It's about time! BreakingNews
JohnCzer1 I don't give a crap about foreign policy it's policy here that needs to get better
Yen war started under Obama
Good!
“America first”!
Wait, wasn’t that an Obama policy?
To be fair, Trump just inherited the policy.
A measure! It’s a start...but long way to go though!
Donald Trump has no foreign policy.
You mean in a harsh rebuke of Barack Obama's foreign policy that Donald Clump continued, FixedItForYou because this shit started long before you propagandists caught on & pretended to do your jobs.
This is not Trump's policy/war, this happened under Obama/HillaryClinton. Get it right!
Obama tried to corrupt election in Israel. Obama gave Iran trillions & nuke bomb making capabilities! He corrupted our IRS, DOJ, FBI & DNC. Dems=corruption & back the enemy.
Kushner is somewhere holding his blankie crying
DJT🤥💩has no foreign policy just🐂💩‼️
Bernie2020 🇺🇲😎🇺🇲😎🐦✌️
He got nerve. They deserve support. Here he goes again supporting Russia. Still trying to get that Russia Tower. No collusion right?
The HOUSE LOL. when are people going to learn..IT HAS TO PASS THE SENATE! The house is nothing more than the senates bitch!
theneedledrop Inb4 Trump blocks it
Every nation has a foreign policy I don't know what you guys are trippin on! How many of you fear an attack on our country? You don't a portion of that is due to foreign policy. The other part of that is who wants to screw with a country that has how many gun owners?
Veto incoming 🙃
Dump will veto it not only because he's an a-hole who doesn't care that Saudi is creating a humanitarian crisis, a famine, and murdering families with children, but also because he is doing the bidding of Mohammad Bone Saw.
I’m in favor of harshly rebuking everything this POS does. Just my two cents😉 ImpeachTheMF
We’ve been tangled up with Yemen since Truman. I despise Trump, but why act like Yemen fiasco is entirely his? HW Bush started the current cycle with cutting aid and isolation of Yemen.
One of the few things I agree with Congress on. The House of Saud has the wealth to take care of their own problems.
Thank you bernie sanders, again
Thank you Bernie!
IreneRoeder At last...
Do people think handing Iran a political victory is in our best interest? US exit leaves many possibilities. None will cause less civilian deaths.
That policy started under Obama Administration. So this is a harsh rebuke of ... themselves?
And of course... Anything passed in the socialist democrat house will go nowhere
House works against the President in the proxy war against post war underground Nazi movement controlled Yemen (research 1950 Madrid Circular). Max Von Oppenheim is laughing in his grave. Wake up and research this info.
Wasn’t that Obama’s policy?
Wish you were our president!
Humans
If 2016 candidate realDonaldTrump were in charge of the foreign policy of this administration, he wouldn't veto the bill. He would have made it unnecessary by ending US support for Saudi war, on America First grounds, two years ago.
“Donald Trump’s foreign policy” lol has he been president since 2002 and I just missed it?
Um, does the House, in all its wisdom, know who the 'Saudi-led coalition' is fighting against? Or is that just an inconvenient fact for the House?
It’s about time.
85K children dead so far in this conflict. Ashamed weren't able to help these people avoid such a calamity. Yemen
How can POTUS veto a Bill passed by Congress to end a war like the U.S. Saudi-lead War in Yemen when the U.S. Constitution only authorizes Congress to declare War? This has never happened before. In the past only the President has asked for authority.
I thought we already did this.
“Rebuke” LMAO that’s cute, Politico
The Saudis paid Kushner/Trump a lot of good money in order for that military support...they deserve a refund
This didn't start under Trump but under Obama! Soits actually Obama's policy!
jasoneclarke Now get OUT of Syria as well. Pull the plug, pack up your illegal bases and get out. The USA has broken so many international laws and has committed many war crimes. Disgusting country overrun by the military industrial complex 😡😡😡😡 Pure EVIL
he did a right thing!
♥️
Trump will declare another national emergency and get his Army men and get his veteran money and support SA anyway.
Now Trump gives the Saudis nuclear Intel? They just bombed the hell out of women and children!
What foreign policy? U.S. policy is running on the momentum of 70 years of post WWII reconstruction of a global institutional system. Trump is stick friction on the flywheel of that great machine. Over time, it will start failing as long as he is in power. It's time guys!
The blood money coming in from Saudi Arabia has to be stopped.
nycsouthpaw And Pompeo
nycsouthpaw It will be interesting to see the response Saudi Arabia’s paid spokesman... er, I mean the President gives us.
Great move but why do you not call out Obama who allied our troops with Saudi Arabia in Yemen? tellitallbrothersandsisters BarackObama
Trump's and Obama's foreign policy. Thank you Senators Sanders, Murphy, Lee, and Representative Kanna!
Wow. I’m amazed.
It's about FRIGGING time!
Wait! There's a 'policy'?
Thank you, my president, BERNIE SANDERS & his amazing co-chair Ro Khanna!!! Bernie2020
Huge win for BernieSanders
Bernie and Ro Khanna are trying to end genocide while Democratic party leaders are focused on taxes and covering for Joe Biden's sexual harassment
BACK IT OFF!!!! Trump
Fact. The war in Yemen is money in the bank for the masters of war.
“Rebukes” LMAO That’s cute, Politico.
so is Kushner in panic yet.
Obama's foreign policy that Trump inherited
That’s going to hurt Jared Kushner and the TrumpCrimeFamily secret business dealings with the Saudis.
Finally some decency
So they want Iran to control Yemen
Not enough. The US should be placing the same kind of sanctions on SA that they have on Venezuela, Putin and North Korea. They are our enemy.
Obama started this in 2013 Poitico ! 💩🤡
Lol pretty sure that mess is Obama’s handiwork.
