US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has sought to assure Gulf monarchies that Washington is determined to help them fend off attacks from the Houthi rebel group in Yemen as he urged regional allies to “speak out” against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Blinken made the remarks on Tuesday in Morocco, where he met the United Arab Emirates’ de facto leader Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and senior Moroccan officials.
The trip comes in the shadow of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which along with sanctions against Moscow has sent wheat and fuel prices soaring in a serious blow to import-dependent North African countries.
