Trump launches airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, says action will be ‘powerful’
President Donald Trump made a significant announcement on Saturday, revealing that he has taken action by ordering airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that he had instructed the United States Military to launch a decisive and powerful military operation against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The decision was motivated by the Houthi rebels’ continuous acts of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones.
Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s response to the situation, calling it “pathetically weak” and attributing the escalating actions of the Houthi rebels to this perceived lack of action. He highlighted the fact that it has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely passed through key waterways including the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.
In a related incident, US Navy ships recently repelled an attack from the Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden. The image accompanying the news shows President Trump waving before boarding Marine One from the White House South Lawn, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the need for swift and decisive action.
