United States to end Support for Operations Amidst Foreign Policy Reset (Kyle Remington)

 Under the recent introduction of the Biden administration, there has been a promise to redesign the United States foreign policy. Most recently, we have seen in a statement that the US will halt the support of offensive operations, including the sale of precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This comes after years of United States intervention in Yemen where the US has continuously backed a coalition led by Saudi Arabia since 2014. President Biden said in a statement that, "The war in Yemen must end,". This comes in unison with other statements where President Biden has vowed to reset the US foreign policy. 

With this statement, there will be no affects on the current operations with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. What we do see changing is the face of the US foreign policy in which the Biden administration is trying to create a new image for especially in situations such as the relationship with foreign leaders like those in Russia and China. It will be interesting to say the least what the future will hold for the United States and foreign policy as we see a possibly large shift in a new direction.
