Donald Trump slammed as ‘morally wrong’ for vetoing bill to end US support for Saudi-led Yemen war
- The US president argued that support for the bloody war was necessary ‘first and foremost’ to ‘protect the safety of the more than 80,000 Americans who live in certain coalition countries’
- Some 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen over the past four years, according to the World Health Organisation, although rights groups say the toll could be five times higher
