CNN is reporting that the U.S. has “slammed the brakes” on a U.N. Security Council resolution on a ceasefire in Yemen. The move is reportedly part of the Trump administration’s fear of compromising the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia, but seems to counter recent statements by both U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley and senior White House officials, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who last month called for the ceasefire.
