Trump has shown restraint toward direct U.S. military escalation in Yemen despite a recent Houthi attack on Riyadh’s airport that killed 12 people, including one American. The president has referenced ongoing communication with the Houthis and a 2025 ceasefire reached after prior U.S. strikes, while weighing but ultimately holding off on new airstrikes requested by Saudi Arabia. Congressional Democrats have introduced resolutions to block unauthorized involvement, and no formal invocation of war powers or sustained hostilities has occurred in the weeks leading to the October 31 deadline. Trader consensus at 93% for no reflects these patterns of limited engagement and preference for diplomacy over expanded operations, though a sharp escalation tied to the latest attack or Saudi requests could still shift the outlook in the remaining days.
