The Combating Houthi Threats and Aggression Act is designed to counter the threats posed by the Houthi movement, particularly their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The legislation aims to enhance maritime security, protect global trade, and uphold U.S. national security interests in the region. To achieve these goals, the Act includes several key provisions. It requires the President to submit reports assessing the Houthis' military capabilities and their impact on shipping and U.S. security within 180 days of enactment and annually thereafter.
