x/donald-john-trump
— 2d
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump in two calls to order air strikes against Yemen's Houthi forces as tensions over the Red Sea escalated; Trump declined and Washington said it would not pursue direct military action for now, instead focusing on Iran and protecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
