Trump Cuts Short Camp David as Houthis Attack Saudi Capital
The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The Houthis are Iran's proxy army, and letting them pound Saudi Arabia week after week only invites more aggression. It's time for the U.S. to carry out a large-scale military operation, and cutting a Camp David weekend short suggests the Trump administration may be on the verge of making that call. Free Yemen from Iran, back the troops and end this threat before it grows.
Anti-Trump narrative
Riyadh has bought more American weapons than any country on earth, including a $24.3 billion F-35 deal, yet still expects Americans to do the fighting. A war with Iran has already burned $33 billion in four months, drained munitions stockpiles and cost aircraft and just 31% of Americans back it. Trump must avoid opening another front in Yemen, as it would be one more forever war paid for in American blood.
