Trump warns US will 'take care of things' if Houthis impose shipping blockade on Saudi Arabia
President Trump warned the US will respond if Houthis follow through on a threat to blockade Saudi shipping in the Red Sea.
The Iran-backed Houthi group announced plans to target Saudi shipping and energy exports.
Trump spoke in the Oval Office during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
The US has previously conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping have disrupted global trade and Israeli-linked vessels since November 2023.
