Donald Trump has used his veto power to block a bill that would have ended US support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

Issuing just his second presidential veto since entering the White House, Mr Trump struck down a measure that had been passed by the Senate last month, and a version which had been given the green light by the House of Representatives two weeks ago.



“This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future,” Mr Trump said in a statement to the Senate, that was released by the White House.
