Trump Says US May Join Saudi Strikes on Houthis

President Donald Trump said the United States might help Saudi Arabia attack the Houthis.

He said officials would look at a recent attack before deciding.

On Saturday, an explosion or missile strike hit Riyadh's international airport.

Several people were hurt, and one report said the airport was evacuated.

The reports differ on some details of the strike.

One said terminals 3 and 4 were hit, while another called it the airport's third attack that week.

The attacks happened after Saudi Arabia and its partners began a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen.

Trump said the United States would make its decision quickly.
