Affirming US actions to protect navigation and security in the Red Sea.

This Congressional resolution affirms that protecting freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden is vital for US interests and the global economy. Attacks by Iran-backed Houthis are increasing shipping costs and delays, potentially leading to higher consumer prices for imported goods. Congress calls for necessary military actions to restore security and supports designating the Houthis as a terrorist group.
Key points
Increased shipping costs and delays: Houthi attacks on this vital trade artery (15% of global maritime traffic) may result in higher prices for imported goods for citizens.
Support for military action: Congress supports the use of US forces to restore navigation security and deter threats in the region.
Designating Houthis as terrorists: Congress supports the President's decision to designate the Houthis as a specially designated global terrorist group, strengthening sanctions and actions against them.
