US President Trump posted on social media on the 13th accusing the Houthis in Yemen of deliberately pushing up oil prices before the US midterm elections. Trump said that the Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia with “very bad” methods and are likely to deliberately push up oil prices before the US election. Earlier in the day, before leaving the White House for Alaska, Trump told the media that he had spoken with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed, but declined to say whether he had decided to join Saudi Arabia's campaign against the Houthis. He also said that a decision on the Iran issue will be made soon.
