How a new resolution will affect U.S. troops in Yemen

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) arrives to talk to the media following the Republicans weekly policy luncheon on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., December 12, 2017.

Governance Studies fellows Molly Reynolds, and Scott R. Anderson, analyze the new joint resolution in Congress which encourages President Trump to rescind United States support for the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen. Reynolds and Anderson delve into the legal premises of the joint resolution, and discuss whether the resolution will prevent the Department of Defense from keeping U.S. troops in Yemen.
