Trump Refused Yemen's Military Support Plea

Times of India · world

President Donald Trump declined Yemen's request for US military support against the Houthis during a call with Yemeni president Rashad al-Alimi. Alimi had sought backing as the Iran-aligned Houthis advanced along Yemen's Red Sea coast. Sources indicate Trump made no direct pledge of military assistance. This comes amid reports that Trump had previously called off planned airstrikes against the Houthis at the last minute, despite commanders approving targets.
