Yemeni Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansur met with the US ambassador in Sana'a on Sunday to discuss a transfer of power in the country, Al Arabiya broadcaster reported.
Mansur had taken on executive duties after President Ali Abdullah Saleh left the country for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia.
The meeting comes after a senior member in the US administration had spoken to Mansur late Saturday, but the White House declined to give details.
