ADEN, Yemen, April 18 -- Yemeni political analysts said that U.S. President Donald Trump's veto over a congressional resolution that sought to end the U.S. involvement in Yemen proves the key American role in the war.
Trump's veto proves the key American role in the Saudi-led military campaign and might work to prolong the country's war, experts said.
They said that the Trump administration has the upper hand in deciding whether to stop the ongoing military operations in Yemen or extending the war despite the humanitarian crisis.
On Tuesday, Trump sent a statement to the senate and called the resolution "an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, and endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members."
The resolution, which was approved by the Senate last month in a vote of 54 to 46 and the House in early April in a vote of 247 to 175, directs the president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities in or affecting Yemen within 30 days unless they are fighting al-Qaida.
Ahmed Nasser Asharif, a political analyst and writer based in the capital Sanaa, told Xinhua that "Trump's veto is just a clear evidence that the current American administration is leading the war against Yemen through its tools in the region."
The Sanaa-based analyst believes that "the decision to end this devastating war will come from Washington one day as the launching of the military campaign was declared from there four years ago."
