- Date: 19th December 2019
- Summary: The Trump administration opposes curbs on U.S. assistance for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday (March 15). WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES (FILE - MARCH 15, 2019) (STATE TV) U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE POMPEO, WALKING INTO NEWS CONFERENCE (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE POMPEO, SAYING: "We all want this conflict to end. We all want to improve the dire humanitarian situation. But the Trump administration fundamentally disagrees that curbing our assistance to the Saudi-led coalition is the way to achieve these goals." POMPEO AT PODIUM (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE POMPEO, SAYING: "The way to alleviate the many people suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our partners in the fight but by giving the Saudi-led coalition the support needed to defeat Iranian-backed rebels to ensure just peace. We hope -- I met with Martin Griffith (United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen) yesterday -- we hope that agreements can be implemented to de-escalate but we must make sure that this crisis comes to an end."
