The Senate voted to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, rebuking President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in the aftermath of the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump, whose administration signaled it would bypass congressional opposition to the sale of arms, is expected to veto the Senate's resolutions.
The votes highlights ongoing tension between Trump and members of his own party over how much power Congress should cede to the executive branch when it comes to foreign policy. It also illustrates bipartisan anger with Saudi Arabia over the murder of Khashoggi, as well as the United States' ongoing support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen's civil war.
