Trump refused to strike the Houthis in Yemen despite a request from Saudi Arabia, — Axios.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Trump twice urging him to attack the Houthis. They seized the port city of Mokha, the island of Perim (Mayyun), and established control over Dhubab, advancing toward the Bab-el-Mandeb strait.
This is one of the key sea routes between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, through which a significant portion of global trade passes.
The U.S. declined direct intervention but continues to share intelligence with the Saudis. According to Axios, Washington is focusing its forces on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and does not want to open another front in Yemen.
