		</div><p>The US President&#8217;s pulled a vote on his healthcare proposals after it became clear that they didn&#8217;t have the support to pass. Donald Trump made it a big campaign promise to replace Barack Obama&#8217;s system. But he failed to win the backing he needed.</p>
<p>House speaker Paul Ryan gave an update on the situation at a news conference held at the U.S Capitol visitor centre. Republican leaders are short of the votes needed for their healthcare overhaul bill hours ahead of a House vote demanded by Donald Trump, officials say.</p>
<p>Republican legislators and congressional aides painted a gloomy picture as speaker Paul Ryan met the president at the White House to deliver the sobering news.</p>
<p>Vice president Mike Pence was meeting recalcitrant members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus in a last-ditch effort to secure support.</p>
<p>Representative Mark Walker told reporters: &#8220;As of right now, I&#8217;m not sure that we are across the finish line. We&#8217;ve still got three or four hours and there&#8217;s still discussions happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Party chiefs had earlier muscled their key healthcare overhaul past an initial barrier and towards a climactic roll call, plunging ahead despite uncertainty over whether they had the votes to prevail.</p>
<p>The House used a near party-line 230-194 vote to insert changes into the measure that leaders hoped would win over unhappy Republicans</p>
<p>The showdown comes after the president warned he would hold no more negotiations with rebels.<br />
In a message delivered to rank-and-file Republicans at the Capitol late on Thursday, senior Trump aides said if the measure failed he would move on to the rest of his agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see what happens,&#8221; Mr Trump said at the White House on Friday when asked what comes next if the measure fails.</p>
<p>The White House said it remained optimistic about the bill.<br />
Press secretary Sean Spicer said Mr Trump was looking forward to the House passing the bill and expected the House to vote later.</p>
<p>Mr Spicer said the president was meeting Mr Ryan to &#8220;discuss the way forward&#8221; and the president had &#8220;left everything on the field&#8221; on the bill.</p>
