UPCOMING WEBINARS

Will Biden Deliver on His Promise to End U.S. Complicity in Yemen’s War?

On February 4, President Biden committed to ending support for offensive Saudi military action in Yemen, as well as relevant arms sales. However, it is not clear how U.S. policy changed after this date, as the U.S. continues to support the Saudis, especially by maintaining the Saudi Air Force, and has allowed some weapons sales to proceed. If Biden is serious about fostering a resolution to the violence and humanitarian crisis in Yemen, why has he not pressured the Saudis to lift the blockade? What role can and should the U.S. play, given Yemen’s complex internal as well as geopolitical dynamics?

Join Brookings' Bruce Riedel; Mwatana's Radhya al-Mutawakel; and QI's Annelle Sheline, as they discuss what the U.S. administration should do to help achieve Biden’s statement that “this war must end.” QI's Trita Parsi will moderate the conversation.
