🇺🇸🇸🇦 TRUMP NEARLY ORDERED STRIKES ON THE HOUTHIS, THEN CALLED THEM OFF AT THE LAST MINUTE
According to the New York Times, bombs were loaded onto aircraft, target lists were approved, and the first wave of strikes was reportedly about to begin.
By Sunday midday, Trump changed his mind.
How it unfolded in just a few days: - He first turned down the Saudi Crown Prince's plea. - After another call from the Crown Prince, he told the Pentagon to prepare for an attack. - Finally, he called it off, and officials said there will be no strikes "for now."
Per the NYT, most of his inner circle is skeptical of hitting the Houthis. Washington's priority remains Iran.
But the Houthis have seized the port of Mokha, less than 50 miles from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, so the risk to Red Sea shipping is still very real.
With a policy that can swing this fast, is this really the final reversal?
