The United States House of Representatives voted to end American involvement in the Yemen war, rebuffing the Trump administration’s support for the military campaign led by Saudi Arabia, AP reported.
Now the bill is sent to the president Donald Trump who, as expected, will veto it. The White House said that the bill raises "serious constitutional problems," and Congress does not have enough votes to overcome the veto.
"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, Michael McCaul 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. He warned that the measure could “disrupt U.S. security cooperation agreements with more than 100 counties.”
