Saudi Crown Prince Urged Trump to Strike Houthis Twice; US Declines for Now

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly asked President Trump to attack the Houthis on two occasions, but Trump declined, with U.S. officials saying he does not plan direct intervention. The request signals Riyadh's growing frustration with Houthi attacks, while Washington's refusal suggests a policy of restraint. The outcome is uncertain as the U.S. position may shift with regional dynamics.
