Rome, 11 Sept. (LaPresse) – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) telephoned US President Donald Trump twice on Thursday, urging him to launch attacks against the Houthis, as the Iran-backed group is advancing ever closer to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital artery for global trade and Saudi oil exports. This is according to two US officials who spoke to Axios. Trump, the news website reports, refused, and the US officials emphasised that the administration has no intention of intervening directly against the Houthis for the time being.
