Trump designated the Houthis as a terrorist group. Biden promptly took them off the list.
So naturally they've responded with dozens of attacks on US Navy ships and have damaged US-flagged merchant ships.
Now Biden is re-designating them as terrorists...sort of:

The specially designated global terrorists label to be reimposed on the Houthis does not include sanctions for providing “material support” and it does not come with travel bans that are also imposed with the foreign terrorist organization label, steps intended to help prevent the U.S. move from harming ordinary Yemenis.It also doesn't have the full power of sanctions and other tools that a complete terror designator brings.
Oh, well. Maybe they'll sink a ship or 3 and that will be enough.
