MochaHouthis seized the Red Sea port on 10 September.
They now hold the Bab al-Mandeb strait while Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed.
The offensive also took Perim island, and 33 vessels exited the strait over the weekend, down from 57.
The Houthis say they will target only ships linked to Saudi Arabia, and Trump says they let most through.
Riyadh has asked Washington for joint strikes, and the president has so far declined.
