A senator has slammed the Biden administration’s offer to reverse the Houthis’ designation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group in exchange for guaranteeing an end to attacks against Red Sea shipping vessels.
“The Houthi terrorists and their Iranian benefactors have tried to shut down global trade in the Red Sea with deadly consequences,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote in a post on social media platform X. “Appeasing and rewarding such behavior would be a new low for the Biden foreign policy team.”
During a dial-in press briefing on Wednesday night, U.S. Special Envoy to Yemen Timothy Lenderking told reporters that his hope as envoy “is that we can find diplomatic off-ramps to find ways to de-escalate and allow us to pull back eventually the designation and, of course, to end the military strikes on Houthis’ military capability.”
Lenderking added, “We know that there is no military solution, and in that commitment, we are joined by all members of the P5 — Russia, China, France, the U.K. — united in this goal, and I think that’s very helpful for listeners to know that there’s a strong consensus in the international community and among key players to support the peace effort going forward.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote, The Houthis are terrorists, period. Iran and their proxies only respond to strength, but yet again the Biden Administration is projecting appeasement. Instead, the White House should put the Houthis on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations to force a change in behavior.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) wrote, “The Biden administration is considering removing the Houthis’ terrorist designation — for the SECOND time. This is unconscionable. We must show strength to terrorists, not appeasement.”

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) also blasted Biden, writing, “Iran-backed Houthis’ attacks on American servicemembers and commercial shipping should not be rewarded. Biden’s appeasement of Iran is what put the world in this danger in the first place. He should be enforcing sanctions, not easing the pressure.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) wrote, “Joe Biden foolishly reversed President Trump’s decision to list the Houthis as a terrorist organization which allowed the extremists to build up their arsenal to carry out attacks against U.S. warships, commercial vessels, and American service members. While US Forces face constant attack, it is completely unacceptable to even consider removing restrictions on these Houthi terrorists.”

Congressional candidate Joe Kent declared, “If Biden stopped funding Iran it wouldn’t matter what we called the Houthis, they’d be broke & incapable of interfering with Red Sea shipping. Until Biden stops funding our enemies we will be call suckers by all our enemies.”
