Trump's Anti-Houthi Campaign Cost US Over $1 Billion

President Donald Trump's efforts to combat the Houthi rebels in Yemen have come at a significant price, exceeding $1 billion in US taxpayer money since March, according to government reports. While the operation aimed to weaken the Iranian-backed group, analysts say it has failed to deliver a decisive blow.

The funds have been allocated to a range of military activities, including providing air support to Saudi-led coalition forces, gathering intelligence on Houthi positions and movements, and providing logistical support to allied forces on the ground. Despite these efforts, the Houthis continue to control significant territory in Yemen and pose a threat to regional stability.

Critics of the campaign argue that the high cost is not justified by the limited results. They suggest that a diplomatic solution may be a more effective and less expensive approach to resolving the conflict in Yemen. Supporters, however, maintain that the military pressure is necessary to deter Houthi aggression and protect US interests in the region. The debate over the future of US involvement in Yemen is expected to continue as the conflict drags on.
