Trump Administration Resists Offensive Military Role in Yemen

The Trump administration is resisting deeper military involvement in the Saudi Arabian offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen. While the United States continues to provide critical intelligence, targeting, and refueling assistance to Riyadh, it has declined to conduct direct offensive attacks against the Iran-backed Houthi forces.

This strategic reluctance has prompted the Government of Saudi Arabia to seek additional international partners to join its military operations. However, these efforts to expand the coalition have remained unsuccessful in recent weeks.
