A U.S. defense official told NBC News on Monday that the militia had launched two retaliatory attacks against the USS Harry S. Truman that had both been unsuccessful.
Main Idea: U.S. strikes on Yemen killed at least 132 people, and the Houthis said they would retaliate as President Donald Trump warned of more force.
Key Points:
US strikes and Houthi retaliation could raise risks to shipping in the Red Sea, which may push up import costs, fuel prices, and market uncertainty for American households and businesses.
Stronger US pressure on the Houthis may reduce attacks on ships if it works, which could improve safety for trade routes and lower future shipping disruptions.
