The Senate failed Thursday to override President Donald Trump's veto of a bipartisan measure that would have reined in US military support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians.
Needing a two-thirds majority to overcome the veto, the measure was defeated on a 53-45 vote, with seven Republicans joining with Democrats. Despite the loss, critics of the Yemen war vowed to keep fighting to end US involvement, arguing it is immoral to participate in the war that has created a humanitarian crisis.
