The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — The Senate is poised vote on Wednesday on ending U.S. support for the Saudi Arabian-led coalition fighting in Yemen, legislation that the White House has threatened to veto.
"The bottom line is that the United States should not be supporting a catastrophic war led by a despotic regime with an irresponsible foreign policy," Sanders said on Wednesday from the Senate floor. He said a vote in favor of the measure would"begin the process of reclaiming our constitutional authority by ending United States involvement in a war that has not been authorized by Congress and is unconstitutional.
Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday urged his colleagues to oppose the measure, but also addressed frustrations in Congress with Trump's handling of U.S.-Saudi relations after the Khashoggi killing. McConnell argued the Yemen resolution"will not enhance America's diplomatic leverage" and will make it more difficult for the U.S. to end the conflict in Yemen and minimize civilian casualties.
