Temper for US President Donald Trump: Congress has called for an end to US military involvement in the Yemen war. After the Senate, the House of Representatives also voted by a majority vote for a resolution instructing them to withdraw all forces in support of the controversial operation within 30 days.
The decision is considered a historic premiere, as it seeks to stem directly from the President's military policy. Trump, on the other hand, can veto - it would be the second of his terms. In order to overrule this veto, a two-thirds majority would be required in both congressional chambers, which is unlikely to be achieved.
The House of Representatives, controlled by the opposition Democrats, voted by 247 votes in favor, 175 against. The Senate, controlled by Trump's Republicans, had already approved it in March.
For example, the US supports the coalition with intelligence information to determine target data. In Yemen, Houthi rebels have been fighting against supporters of the internationally recognized government for more than four years. Their troops are supported by a led by Saudi Arabia coalition with air strikes. The royal house in Saudi Arabia sees the rebels as a close ally of its archenemy, Shiite Iran.
Saudi Arabia is accused of not paying enough attention to the protection of civilians in the military attacks. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had already criticized after the Senate vote last month that an end to US support for the operation was not the right way to make any difference to the severe humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Partly because of the killing of Saudi Arabian journalist and government critic Jamal Khashoggur by Saudi Arabian agents in Istanbul, Trump is under internal pressure to take public stand against the important ally in Riyadh.
