Senate Votes to Stop US Support for Yemen

December 13, 2018 "Information Clearing House" - US Senators have voted to recommend that the US stop supporting the Saudi-UAE-led war in Yemen, directly challenging both Saudi Arabia and President Donald Trump in the wake of columnist Jamal Khashoggi's slaying.
Senators also approved a non-binding resolution saying that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is responsible Khashoggi's murder.
The bipartisan vote on Thursday comes two months after the Khashoggi's killing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and after Trump has equivocated over who is to blame. US intelligence officials have concluded that Prince Mohammed must have at least known of the plot, but Trump has repeatedly praised the kingdom.
Khashoggi was killed on October 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain documents needed for his planned marriage.
