President Trump has taken significant action by redesignating Yemen's Houthi rebels as a foreign terrorist organization, viewing them as a serious threat to regional security. This move reinstates a designation lifted by the Biden administration which had hoped to support peace negotiations in the ongoing civil war. By categorizing the Houthis as terrorists again, the Trump administration aims to cooperate with regional allies to dismantle their operations. Critics warn this could worsen Yemen's dire humanitarian situation, where millions need urgent assistance, underscoring the tension between security and humanitarian concerns.
