April 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. House voted Thursday for a resolution to end support for the ongoing conflict in Yemen -- a piece of legislation expected to meet resistance in the White House.
The chamber approved the resolution by a vote of 247-175-1 -- which President Donald Trump has threatened to veto, saying it harms bilateral relationships in the region. The Senate version cleared a vote by a 54-46 margin last month. The Washington Post reported Thursday's vote marked the first time both chambers approved using the war-powers resolution to withdraw the U.S. military out of an overseas conflict.
