The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted to end American involvement in the Yemen war, rebuffing the Trump administration's support for the military campaign led by Saudi Arabia.
By a 247-175 vote, Congress for the first time invoked the decades-old War Powers Resolution to try and stop a foreign conflict."The president will have to face the reality that Congress is no longer going to ignore its constitutional obligations when it comes to foreign policy," said Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He said the humanitarian crisis in Yemen triggered by the war"demands moral leadership.
The top Republican on the committee, Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, acknowledged the dire situation in Yemen for civilians, but spoke out in opposition to the bill, saying it was an abuse of the War Powers Resolution.
With or without US, Saudi will NEVER allow Iranian backed Houthi militias on its southern border with Yemen, similar to Lebanon’s Hezbollah causing nightmares for Israelis. Their slogan is “God is great,Death to America, Death to Israel, A curse on the Jews. Victory to Islam”.
A veto? I guess we have to keep , those Saudis happy, and stay in their defacto war with Iran. The Representatives of the American people have spoken against our involvement. If Trump vetos, the Yemeni blood is on his hands.
To let iranian terrorist groups make more military bases in Yemen And stop Iranian sanctions But keep the Syrian war going And hate Israel and Jews And, you dems genuinely think you are not the biggest assets of Putin?
ISIS is on the run in Syria, Trump said they were done - so stop the bombing!!
Atrocities committed in America’s name so Trump-Kushner can profit from the Kingdom of Saud. Resist
Of course Trump would veto. Why would he want what's best for everyone?
