Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarified that the recent strikes in Yemen against the Houthis are in defense of U.S. assets and not to advance either side of the Yemeni civil war.
The strikes represent a difference between President Donald Trump and his predecessor Joe Biden’s reactions to Houthis targeting U.S. ships in the Red Sea. Over 30 Houthi rebels were killed as a result of the strikes.
