Executive Order 14172, titled Designation Of Ansar Allah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization is an executive order signed by Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States, on January 22, 2025. The executive order aims to initiate the process of designating Ansar Allah (the Houthis) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under U.S. law.
Background
The ongoing conflict is apart of the Red Sea crisis, in which Houthi forces have damaged at least 30 ships in response to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. These attacks have taken place in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since 19 October 2023.
Provisions
The executive order sets in motion the process for Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, shall be considered for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, consistent with section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189).
This also reiterates the policy of the United states to eliminate Ansar Allah’s capabilities and operations, deprive it of resources, and thereby end its attacks.
The Secretary of State has 30 days to submit a report to the President, through the National Security Council, concerning the designation of Ansar Allah as a foreign terrorist organization consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189.
15 days after submitting the report, the Secretary of State shall take all appropriate action, consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189, with regards to a designation of Ansar Allah as a terrorist organization.
If Ansar Allah is designation as a foreign terrorist organization under 8 U.S.C. 1189, the Secretary of State and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will review the United Nations partners, nongovernmental organizations, and contractors through which USAID works in Yemen, and identify any entities with a relationship with USAID that has made payments to members of, or governmental entities controlled by, Ansar Allah or has criticized international efforts to counter Ansar Allah while failing to document Ansar Allah’s abuses sufficiently. The Administrator of USAID is required to take all appropriate action to terminate the projects, grants, or contracts identified to have done such as listed above.
