The U.S. has mostly provided low key logistical support and remains a major arms supplier to Saudi Arabia, but has urged restraint in recent times. But, it has avoided a front line combat role and has not emphasized its involvement publicly.
One U.S. warship in the vicinity destroyed an anti-ship missile installation when it was fired upon, but not as part of a larger policy.
The Trump Administration's involvement continues the Obama Administration's involvement with little difference in practice but a somewhat more cautious tone.
According to this article Trump has gotten more aggressive with drone strikes and loosened the parameters increasing the potential for civilian casualties, definitely not more cautious:
