Trump declined bin Salman's Houthi engagement request
The article addresses the Trump administration's refusal to engage directly in confronting the Houthis, despite their escalation and control over the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait. Washington has limited itself to sharing intelligence and supporting limited military operations to maintain freedom of navigation. The United States has not taken any direct military action to preserve the existing ceasefire since 2025, despite the risks posed by Houthi control over the strait, through which approximately 12% of global oil trade and 8% of liquefied natural gas pass. Such control could lead to increased energy prices and global market tensions. Additionally, Washington continues to strengthen its stance on safeguarding its interests and national security, maintaining dialogue with Saudi Arabia and Yemen. There are warnings that the Houthis might exploit their position to expand their military capabilities and disrupt shipping traffic, reflecting the U.S. administration’s hesitation to escalate with direct military intervention due to broader geopolitical challenges and tensions with Iran.
