US President Donald Trump has vetoed a bill passed by Congress to end support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
Mr Trump described the resolution as an "unnecessary" and "dangerous" attempt to weaken his constitutional powers.
It is only the second time Mr Trump has used his presidential veto since he took office in 2017.
Opposition in Congress to his policy on Yemen grew last year after Saudi agents killed the journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
The resolution passed the House of Representatives in April and the Senate in March, the first time both chambers had supported a War Powers resolution, which limits the president's ability to send troops into action.
