Donald Trump's efforts to repeal his predecessor Barack Obama's healthcare system and replace it with his own have suffered a stinging defeat.
Two US Republican senators said they would vote against the plans, enough to sink hopes of Mr Trump's proposals passing in the slimly-held chamber.
The crucial bill will now be amended to repeal Obamacare but with a two year delay, giving the Republicans time to come up with an alternative.
After the vote, Mr Trump tweeted: "We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!"
