The United States does not want war with Yemen but will not hesitate to take further action in response to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, the White House said on Friday.
"We're not interested in ... a war with Yemen. We're not interested in a conflict of any kind here," White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Air Force One.
"Everything the president has been doing has been trying to prevent any escalation of conflict, including the strikes last night," he said.
