US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the US is in contact with Saudi Arabia over the Houthi naval blockade declared against the Gulf kingdom.
"We've been engaged with the Saudis a number of times over the last week in regards to that threat. It's not a new threat, but it's one that manifested itself in the past," Rubio said.
