Trump declines bin Salman Houthi attacks
Axios reported, citing U.S. officials, that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia requested U.S. President Donald Trump to carry out military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, but Trump declined this request. This came after the Houthis advanced and took control of a strategic city near Bab el-Mandeb, a vital passage for the transportation of oil and global trade, leading to an increase in oil prices. Washington's cautious stance towards direct escalation reflects a desire to maintain freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, while preferring to leave any major military action to regional countries, despite the growing Houthi influence and their proximity to this strategic passage.
