President Donald Trump said he would consider joining Saudi Arabia in military operations against the Iran-backed Houthi group following a deadly airport strike in Saudi Arabia.
The attack has raised security concerns across the Middle East and increased the risk of a wider regional conflict. The Houthis, an armed group operating in Yemen, have been involved in regional hostilities and attacks affecting key maritime routes.
Trump’s remarks suggest that Washington could consider a more direct military role alongside Saudi Arabia. However, his statement does not confirm that the United States has decided to enter the conflict.
The Red Sea is an important route for global trade and energy shipments, meaning further attacks could disrupt shipping and increase transportation costs.
