National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met with UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg on May 15 at the White House.

Mr. Sullivan underscored President Biden's commitment to ending the war in Yemen. He welcomed the remarkable progress since the UN-mediated truce first went into effect in April of last year, leading to the quietest period Yemenis have had since the war began nearly a decade ago.
