WASHINGTON - The US Senate on Wednesday dealt a stinging bipartisan rebuke to President Donald Trump's foreign policy and his alliance with Riyadh, voting to end support for the bloody Saudi-led war effort in Yemen.
The Senate vote was 54 to 46, with seven Republicans defying the President and aligning with Democrats. "Today, we begin the process of reclaiming our constitutional power by ending US involvement in a war that has not been authorised by Congress and is clearly unconstitutional," Senator Bernie Sanders, who is running for president in 2020 and is a sponsor of the measure, said on the Senate floor.
The Saudis, he said,"are likely using our own weapons... to commit these atrocities of war. That's not OK."
