Trump believes the Houthis are deliberately trying to drive up oil prices

United States President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that the Yemeni Houthis, by increasing hostilities, are trying to provoke an increase in oil prices ahead of the mid-term elections for the American Congress. "The Houthis are hurting Saudi Arabia and are deliberately trying to raise oil prices, probably in preparation for the US elections," he wrote on the Truth Social social network on Tuesday.
