As a candidate, Biden promised to end wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Afghanistan is over, but the U.S. is still involved to an extent in Yemen's civil war. We're keeping this at In the Works.
During Biden's tenure, the direct violence in Yemen has been lower than at earlier points in the conflict, said Annelle Sheline, a research fellow in the Middle East program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
Under Biden, the U.S. has reduced its provision of military supplies to Saudi Arabia, said F. Gregory Gause III, an international affairs professor at Texas A&M University's Bush School of Government and Public Service. There is also "no direct U.S. military personnel involvement in the fighting, as far as is publicly known," he said.
The continuing cooperation with Saudi Arabia has pushed some members of Congress to support legislation to distance the U.S. even further from the conflict. "There is a desire in Congress to extricate the U.S. from the conflict, and there is a reluctance by the administration to commit to such a resolution," said Michael A. Allen, a Boise State University political scientist.the Biden administration "agreed to continue working with my office on ending the war in Yemen," adding that he would revive his push if negotiations with the White House faltered.
