Trump said the United States is weighing action as Houthi missile attacks killed 13 people at Riyadh’s airport, officials said.

- Experts warn the Houthis operate as part of Iran's regional strategy, while soaring energy prices are suppressing Trump's approval ratings ahead of next month's midterm elections.
