This publication argues that by lending limited support to the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, the US became complicit in a man-made humanitarian disaster. In response, the text looks at where the Obama and Trump administrations went wrong in Yemen, and why they continued to support the Saudi campaign even as the conflict stalemated and the humanitarian emergency grew. The authors also outline what efforts policymakers in Washington might undertake to extract the US from the war in Yemen and better gird it against being drawn into future such military adventures that it enables through its support.
