Politico: Trump has opposed renewed airstrikes against the Houthis, despite Saudi Arabia’s request for more support. He believes the Houthis do not want to fight and maintains the current ceasefire. The Houthis still have a significant military force backed by Iran.

U.S. officials disagree about the continuation of the attacks and warn of the risk of a broader conflict. Washington has not appointed a special envoy to manage the crisis between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, and diplomatic engagement with this group is difficult.
