Rashida Tlaib’s resolution to require the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Lebanon failed 92-324, with Democrats divided and nearly all Republicans voting against it. The debate focused in part on the measure’s failure to mention Hezbollah and what U.S. operations it might affect.
Tlaib’s resolution sought to require President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. It failed 92-324 on Thursday; more than half of House Democrats and nearly all Republicans voted against it. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was among those opposing it, while Thomas Massie was the only Republican to support it. Derek Tran and Betty McCollum voted present. Democratic leaders said they would work with Tlaib on a narrower measure.
The article reports that Republicans criticized the resolution for not mentioning Hezbollah and argued it could hamper U.S. operations. Tlaib said it would affect only U.S. forces actively engaged in hostilities. Brian Mast said the measure did not clarify whether Marines at the U.S. embassy or troops training the Lebanese Armed Forces could remain. Max Miller linked Tlaib to Hezbollah during the floor debate; after Tlaib requested that his remarks be stricken, the presiding chair agreed.
