“We reviewed the support for the Arab Coalition when we came into office, we determined that it was the right thing to do to support them in the defense of their own countries but also to restore the rightful government there,†Mattis said.
Mattis added that the US’s aim in Yemen is to keep the “human cost at an absolute minimumâ€, and that this is where they engage with the coalition.
