For myriad obvious reasons, President Donald Trump has so far resisted calls from Saudi Arabia to assist in its fight with the Houthis, even as the militant group has been striking — literally — at the heart of the Kingdom's oil and tourism industries all week. First, the U. S. can hardly afford another front in its current Middle East war. We know Pentagon munitions stockpiles are depleted, and our main asset in the region, the U. S. Navy, is stretched thin trying to manage its blockade against Iran and helping to shuttle non-sanctioned shipping through the Strait of Hormuz (which is not going as well as the White House was boasting a week ago). Second, politically, Trump cannot afford to launch another war ahead of the midterms, especially if it is not guaranteed to be successful. His first escalation against the Houthis in 2025 failed, and he was forced to call a ceasefire. The Yemeni resistance group, also known as Ansar Allah, has only gotten stronger since. But the pressure is on, and Annelle Sheline, research fellow at the Quincy Institute's Middle East program, says it is likely that Trump will be forced to get involved sooner than later.
