Washington • The House voted Thursday to end U.S. participation in Yemen’s civil war, denouncing a Saudi-led bombing campaign that has been blamed for worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis and sending the measure to President Donald Trump for an expected veto.
The vote was 247-175, with one member simply voting "present" and fell largely along party lines, reflecting how Democrats and Republicans remain divided over how to address Saudi Arabia's efforts to challenge Yemen's Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran.
It illustrates, too, how lawmakers are split over addressing Trump’s embrace of Saudi leaders after the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a crime for which members of both parties believe Saudi crown price Mohammed bin Salman bears responsibility.
