Trump weighs joining Saudi strikes against Yemen’s Houthis after Riyadh airport attack
President Donald Trump is considering whether to join Saudi Arabia's strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels following a deadly attack on King Khalid International Airport, according to Saudi civil aviation authorities. The attack, which killed 12 people and injured over 300, included victims from Saudi Arabia and other countries such as Bangladesh, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Sudan.
US President Trump stated that his administration would "move very quickly" to decide on the matter. The US embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a security alert urging American citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding areas. The surge in attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport comes amid a broader conflict between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen.
