Biden to end support for Soddy operations in Yemen
[SouthFront] US President Joe Biden will announce on February 4 an end to US support for the Saudi-led military offensive in Yemen, the president’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan told a news briefing.

Sullivan noted that the new policy will not extend to offensive operations taken by the US against Al Qaeda’s affiliate in the Arab Peninsula.

“It [the policy] does not extend to actions against AQAP, which are actions we undertake in service of protecting the homeland and protecting American interests in the region and allies and partners,” CNBC quoted Sullivan as saying.

The move would fulfill a campaign pledge by Biden. Recent reports revealed plans by top aides of Biden to pursue the diplomacy to end the conflict in Yemen.

The US military has been supporting Saudi-led operations against the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen since day one. The Kingdom and its allies received intelligence and logistic support from the US.
