Trump's Top Envoy Says Military Action in Yemen Would Be 'Futile'

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack said at the Qatar Global Security Forum that the United States will not directly engage in ground military operations in Yemen, and will only provide logistical support to Saudi Arabia. He acknowledged that previous U.S. military operations in Yemen failed to achieve their objectives, and called on regional countries to build their own security alliances and reduce reliance on the United States.
