Has Trump Left MBS hanging over Yemen?

The Yemeni and Saudi governments are under pressure. The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman reportedly called US President Donald Trump twice to ask him to authorise US strikes against the Houthis in Yemen over the threat to the Bab el Mandeb Strait. According to Axios, the US President declined. FRANCE 24’s Gavin Lee discusses that decision and the wider conflict with the retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of US ground forces in Europe, and former Commander of NATO Allied Land Command in Izmir, Turkey.
