President Donald Trump's decision to abandon a military mission to open the Strait of Hormuz came after a backlash from allies, including Saudi Arabia. The country suspended the U.S. military's ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation, according to two US officials. The move angered Saudi Arabia's leadership, who informed Washington it would not allow the U., allowing the military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase, southeast of Riyadh, or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort. Despite this, the president halted the operation 36 hours after it began. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is considering a potential presidential run in 2028 and has suggested releasing an autopsy report of her failed 2024 campaign.
