️🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪🇮🇷NYT: US President Trump has repeated the question of whether to order US strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen after a conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after originally opposing the strikes.

He ordered the Pentagon to prepare for an air campaign after speaking with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. However, by Sunday, administration officials said the president had withdrawn from the operation, at least temporarily.

A Trump administration official says most of Trump's inner circle was very skeptical or actually opposed to the Saudis joining the fight with the Houthis due to the current strain on the US military in the region with the Iranian conflict.
