After weeks of pounding from America’s military, the Houthi rebels of Yemen have said they will stop attacking Red Sea shipping, President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
“The Houthis have announced that they are not — they have announced to us at least, that they don’t want to fight anymore,” Trump said in a video posted to X. “They just don’t want to fight.”
“We will honor that,” Trump said as he welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to the Oval Office.
“That’s news we just found out about,” Trump said.
“We will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships any more,” Trump said, noting that was “the purpose of what we were doing.”
