House votes to end U.S. involvement in Yemen
On Wednesday, the House voted 248-177 to pass a resolution ending U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
Eighteen Republicans joined 230 Democrats to pass the measure, which curtails presidential war powers. On Monday, President Trump's advisers argued that the measure is "flawed," because U.S. boots are not on the ground in Yemen, The Washington Post reports. The U.S. has pulled back on some assistance, including aerial refueling of Saudi planes, and anything else would "harm bilateral relationships in the region," the advisers said.
