(MENAFN) The situation in Yemen has been discussed on Tuesday by US president Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who viewed the situation of Houthi rebel and Iranian activity and the humanitarian crisis, the White House said.
"On Yemen, the President and the Crown Prince discussed the threat the Houthis pose to the region, assisted by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps," it said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The leaders discussed additional steps to address the humanitarian situation and agreed that a political resolution to the conflict is ultimately necessary to meet the needs of the Yemeni people," the statement said.
It's worth noting that on Tuesday, the US Senate killed a resolution seeking to end Washington's support for Saudi Arabia's military campaign in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia has been incessantly pounding Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of the Riyadh regime.
