  "summary": "US President Donald Trump is considering whether the US will join Saudi Arabia in its strikes against the Houthis. He made this statement after learning of a recent missile attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport.\n\nThe airport was targeted on Saturday, with several people wounded, and air traffic suspended temporarily. Travellers were evacuated and dozens of ambulances rushed to the site. This was not the first attack on the airport, which has been targeted multiple times in the past week.\n\nThe Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have claimed responsibility for earlier attacks, including one on Wednesday that killed a Sudanese national. According to the Times of India, at least 225 flights at King Khalid International Airport had been cancelled. Trump said the US is \"looking into\" whether to join the Saudi strikes, with a decision to be made \"very quickly\".",
