The White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan informed reporters that President Biden has planned to announce an end of American support for offensive operations in Yemen.

Sullivan said the halt to offensive operations doesn’t extend to US military actions against the terrorist group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Point to be noted that at least 6-year long armed conflict has produced a humanitarian crisis and other issues in Yemen.

Sullivan said the President will direct the US authorities to play a more active and engaged role in the diplomacy to bring an end to the conflict in Yemen.It is noteworthy that the President is under pressure from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to end US involvement in the Yemen conflict.

It is still unclear what operations will be halted by Biden‘s directive.

The US military stopped refueling for the Saudi-led coalition during the Trump administration.
