Donald Trump has warned the Houthis that the United States will 'take care of' the Iran-backed group if it follows through on its threat to blockade Saudi Arabia's Red Sea ports, a move that would strike at one of the world's most vital oil shipping routes.
The US president made the comments during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Tuesday, as the militant group's blockade threat opened a fresh front in the wider Middle East crisis.
