Trump Resists Saudi Push for Yemen Offensive

“The Trump administration is reluctant to get more involved in Saudi Arabia’s offensive against the Houthis and has tried to restrain Riyadh from sparking a major new conflict in Yemen,” Bloomberg reports.

“While the U.S. has helped Riyadh with intelligence, targeting and refueling assistance, the lack of American offensive attacks against the Iran-backed Houthis left Saudi Arabia casting about unsuccessfully in recent weeks for more countries to join its military operation in Yemen.”
