U.S. Policy on the Houthis: Biden’s Failures and the Challenges Awaiting Trump
The Biden administration has faced significant challenges in addressing the Houthi issue in Yemen. While it removed the Houthis from the terrorism list to restart negotiations, these efforts were undermined by continued arms smuggling from Iran and escalating attacks on international shipping. The administration responded with strikes on Houthi infrastructure but failed to achieve decisive deterrence.
Some U.S. officials emphasize that current military operations aim to protect maritime navigation and deter the Houthis. However, others argue that the administration lacks the resolve and strategic clarity needed for success. As Biden's term nears its end, the chaos in Yemen, persistent smuggling, and weak cooperation with the Yemeni government present a complex challenge for incoming President Trump, who will need to define a clear strategy to address the crisis.
