Washington CNN  —  A merchant ship full of wheat set sail from Oregon earlier this month, headed towards the port of Aden in Yemen. But when that carrier eventually arrives at its intended destination in mid-May, there will be no one authorized to receive the wheat, store it and ensure that it gets distributed to the people of southern Yemen, many of whom are in desperate need for food. Barring an intervention by the Trump administration, the wheat will likely rot at the port or be pillaged.
