Following clashes between the Yemeni government and the Houthi rebel movement in 2014. Saudi Arabia formed a military alliance with eight Arab countries to conduct operations in Yemen. The coalition also had the support of the United States, Britain, and France in airstrikes against the Houthis.
International observers say Biden’s decision to end military cooperation with Saudi Arabia in the Yemeni conflict. Biden’s decision will affect the ongoing war between the Houthis and the Yemeni government. Earlier, the United States cut off arms sales to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The US president’s national security adviser says the decision will not affect US operations against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
President Biden is also expected to announce a special envoy to Yemen. The decision will mark a major shift in the Trump administration’s policies in the Arab world.
