Trump says US will stop bombing Houthis: They ‘don’t want to fight’
President Donald Trump made a surprising announcement on Tuesday, revealing that the U.S. will halt its bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen. This decision came after the terrorist group conveyed to him that they “don’t want to fight.”
“They just don’t want to fight,” Trump stated confidently from the Oval Office. “They just don’t want to, and we will honor that. We will stop the bombings.”
The sudden shift in strategy raised eyebrows around the world, with many questioning the motives behind the Houthis’ unexpected plea for peace. Despite the skepticism, Trump assured the public that the bombings on Houthi targets would cease “effectively immediately.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump’s sentiments, emphasizing that the primary objective was to put an end to attacks on ships in the region. “If that’s going to stop, we will stop,” Rubio affirmed.
The decision to halt the bombing campaign marks a significant departure from the previous stance of the U.S. government. It remains to be seen how this move will impact the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the broader geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
