Biden to end support for Saudi-led offensive operations in Yemen

President Biden will end U.S. support for Saudi-led offensive operations in Yemen, his national security adviser announced Thursday -- marking a withdrawal from support for a Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in the war-torn country.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that Biden will "announce an end to American support for offensive operations in Yemen."

Biden will make the announcement as part of a wide-ranging speech at the State Department on Thursday afternoon.
