The U.S. special envoy for Yemen leaves for Saudi Arabia and Jordan on Monday to continue Washington's diplomatic efforts to back a United Nation's mediated truce in Yemen, the U.S. State Department said.

Tim Lenderking "will continue our efforts to help advance peace," the department said in a statement on the trip, which follows U.S. President Joe Biden's trip to the region earlier this month.
