WASHINGTON, America — The Donald Trump administration is planning to start a substantive dialogue with the Yemeni powerful militia group. The Wall Street Journal report said that Trump wanted to end long imposed war on the poorest Arab country. The statement issued by the US officials on Tuesday further added that America is seeking a ceasefire in Yemen. Trump administration is looking to prompt Saudi Arabia into taking part with Ansarullah in Oman to broker a ceasefire. Bullying parties in Yemen are none the wiser about what the US plans. According to the reports published in the leading newspapers, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been invading Yemen since March 2015 to reinstall fugitive president Mansour Hadi in power, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 34,100 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children. An estimated 85,000 children under the age of five may have died from acute malnutrition in four years of war in Yemen, the UK based leading charity Save The Children says.
