Melania Trump Had a Very Bad Year
First Lady Melania Trump’s official White House portrait says it all. Pictured in a black pantsuit and white collared shirt, she stands at the head of a table, as if in a boardroom ready to make a deal. And sure enough, even before she moved back into the (RIP) East Wing, she had inked a $40 million deal for a documentary about her life.

UAE forces to depart Yemen after Saudi demands, strikes
On December 30, the United Arab Emirates announced that its forces would leave Yemen after Saudi Arabia insisted that the UAE withdraw from the country the same day, echoing demands from leaders of Yemen’s internationally recognized government (IRG). Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been part of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to fight the Houthis. However, they have divergent policies and preferred actors in the country. The developments follow Saudi strikes overnight on December 29-30 on the port of Mukalla in southern Yemen, supposedly targeting Emirati efforts to supply southern Yemeni forces. In the preceding days, UAE-backed southern separatist forces rejected demands to withdraw from territory that they had recently seized in eastern Yemen. In early December, forces aligned with the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a party to Yemen’s IRG, marched east and seized the governorates of Hadramawt and Al Mahrah, which extend from the southern coast to Yemen’s northern border with Saudi Arabia and eastern border with Oman. The STC, backed by the UAE, advocates for the secession of southern Yemen and now controls the governorates that comprise the state of South Yemen. However, other members of the IRG, many aligned with Saudi Arabia, insist on the authority of the IRG’s official bodies over a unified Yemen. Saudi Arabia views the recently captured territory, particularly Hadramawt on its border, as crucial not only to Yemeni stability but to Saudi security. On December 30, Yemeni President Rashid al Alimi, chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), the IRG’s executive body, issued an official decree requiring the withdrawal of Emirati forces. “First: To cancel the Joint Defense Agreement with the United Arab Emirates. Second: All Emirati forces and their personnel must withdraw from all Yemeni territory within (24) hours. Third: The Homeland Shield Forces must move and take control of all camps in the governorates of Hadramawt and Al Mahra,” the decree stated. The Homeland Shield Forces, also translated as the National Shield Forces, is a Saudi-backed force formed by Alimi in 2023. Saudi Arabia quickly expressed its support for the president’s decree.
