According to him, the actions and statements by the United States regarding Yemen, including the Houthis, "were extremely positive."

“We hope that this will help give impetus to a political settlement of the conflict in Yemen,” TASS quotes Dujarrik.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that since February 16, Washington will exclude the Houthis from the list of terrorists.

The US Treasury announced the inclusion of the motion on this list the day before Joe Biden's inauguration.

On February 4, Biden announced that Washington is ending support for the Arab coalition's military operations in Yemen and intends to intensify efforts for a peaceful settlement.
