Foreign Affairs: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called US President Donald Trump twice on Thursday, urging him to launch strikes against the Houthis, Axios reported, citing two US officials.
According to Reuters on September 11, 2026, the report stated that Trump rejected the request, and US officials said that his administration does not intend to take direct military action against the Houthis at this time.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House and the Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside of normal business hours.
According to Axios, the United States is increasingly concerned about the rapidly escalating conflict in Yemen and is increasing its support for Saudi Arabia while trying to avoid direct military involvement.
According to the same report, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, traveled to Saudi Arabia on Thursday for urgent mediation talks.
