Statement: Trump Admin’s Terrorist Designation of Houthis in Yemen ‘Reckless and Destructive’
Format
Please see below statement from Refugees International's Vice President for Programs and Policy Hardin Lang:
"The Trump administration's decision to designate the Houthi movement in Yemen as a Foreign Terrorist Organization is both reckless and destructive.
Coming just days before Trump leaves office, the designation will complicate diplomatic efforts to end the war in Yemen and will disrupt relief efforts for the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Particularly alarming are reports that Secretary Pompeo is moving forward before finalizing waives and licenses that would allow humanitarian aid to continue to flow. If true, it is difficult to imagine a more irresponsible decision.
