Senators Vote To End U.S. Support For Saudis In Bloody Yemen War, Despite GOP Objections

WASHINGTON ― A slim majority of senators voted Thursday to end U.S. support for a Saudi Arabian military campaign in Yemen that has been blamed for tens of thousands of deaths and mass starvation. The vote provides the biggest rebuke yet of a three-year U.S. policy that the Trump administration says it has no plans to end. It was backed by GOP leadership and other hawks in the Senate, who opposed ending U.S. support for the Saudis. Still, additional action on Yemen, where humanitarian groups warn millions may soon slip into famine status, is unlikely on Capitol Hill this year.
