President Donald Trump on Saturday said he is evaluating whether the US should join Saudi strikes on the Houthis. "We may. We're going to look at it," he told reporters here. "We just found out about the recent attack. So we'll make a decision. We move very quickly," he said.

The Houthis claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks, including one Wednesday that killed a Sudanese national. There was no immediate Houthi statement Saturday.
