According to a CBS report on the 13th, US President Trump said on the same day that he may ask Turkey to join Saudi Arabia's crackdown on the Houthis in Yemen. When asked at the White House on the same day if he would ask Turkey to join the operation, Trump said, “I might do this. I have great respect for the Turkish President. I think President Erdogan will do the same.” The Houthis in Yemen and the Saudi-led multinational coalition forces have continued to attack each other recently. On the 10th, the terminal of King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh was attacked, killing 12 people and injuring 309 others. Trump said on the 10th that he is evaluating whether the US should join Saudi Arabia's crackdown on the Houthis and will “make a decision as soon as possible.” Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement in August. The agreement stipulates that an armed attack on any of the three countries will be regarded as an attack on all three countries.
