The US Senate on Thursday (December 13th) approved a resolution to end US military support for the war in Yemen, AFP reported.
On the Yemen measure, 49 Democrats or their allies voted in favour, along with seven Republicans, while another three Republicans abstained.
The resolution cannot be debated in the House of Representatives before January.
The Yemen resolution directs US President Donald Trump "to remove US armed forces from hostilities in or affecting Yemen, except those engaged in operations directed at al-Qaeda, within 30 days".
The resolution came the same day as UN-brokered talks in Sweden saw some progress, with Yemen's warring parties agreeing to a ceasefire at the vital port of al-Hodeidah.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised the talks, saying "peace is possible".
