U.S. envoy blames Houthis for Yemen peace deal delays

The U.S. ambassador to Yemen blamed the Houthi movement Thursday for the stalling of a U.N.-led peace deal in the main port of Hodeida and said the group’s weapons pose a threat to other countries in the region. The Yemeni government and the Houthis reached a cease-fire and troop withdrawal deal for Hodeida, which is under Houthi control, at talks in Sweden in December. The pact was the first major breakthrough in efforts to end the 4-year-old war.
