Chairman McCaul Issues Statement On Houthi Threat

Washington, D.C. — Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul issued the following statement in response to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

“By prioritizing politics over security, this administration emboldened the Houthis, enabling them to develop more advanced weapons, deepen ties with Iran, and further entrench their control over millions of innocent Yemenis. It is clear that the Houthis are a threat to Yemen, our partners across the Middle East, U.S. servicemembers and citizens in the region, and freedom of navigation and global commerce. We must end this policy of appeasement and get serious about actually responding to, rather than enabling, the Houthi threat, including through an FTO designation.”
