Trump pressures Saudi Arabia on Yemen blockade | TheHill

'The conflict escalated last month when Saudi Arabia imposed a blockade in response to the Houthi rebels firing a missile on Riyadh believed to be supplied by Iran. '

'But in general, the Obama administration’s relationship with Saudi Arabia was rocky, particularly after the Iran nuclear agreement that Riyadh vehemently opposed. '

'Saudi Arabia, concerned about Iran’s support of the Houthis in a neighboring country, formed a coalition and intervened in support of Hadi. '

'In addition to supporting Salman’s policies in Yemen, McInerney said, the Trump administration did not act after Salman launched an anti-corruption campaign that has been described as a purge and effort to shore up his power. '

'Former President Obama also came under criticism for providing support to the Saudi coalition. '
