US President Donald Trump announced today the reclassification of the Houthi group in Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization.

The White House confirmed that the new American policy will work to strengthen cooperation with regional partners to deprive the Houthis of the resources they use to launch their attacks, stressing that Washington is committed to supporting security and stability in the region.
