(Worthy News) – The House on Wednesday voted to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen’s civil war, a rebuke of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s alleged role in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The chamber voted 248-177, with 18 Republicans siding with the Democratic majority.
The Senate approved a matching resolution in December with a vote of 56-41, but that was in the last Congress. The Republican-controlled chamber must vote again in order to force the Trump administration to end its military support of the Saudi coalition. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
