Trump Announces Ceasefire with Yemeni Houthis Following White House Meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump claims Houthis have capitulated, leading to an immediate cessation of U.S. airstrikes.
During a press briefing at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the Yemeni Houthi movement has agreed to halt its attacks, which prompted a commitment from the United States to cease airstrikes in response.
Trump characterized the development as ‘very positive news,’ asserting that the Houthis have ‘capitulated’ and that the U.S. will immediately stop its counter-strikes.
He remarked, ‘They don’t want to fight, and we appreciate that.
We will stop the bombings.’
Secretary of State Marco Rubio supported this statement, noting that the objective of the U.S. actions had been the restoration of freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
He indicated that the cessation of U.S. intervention would occur if this goal is achieved.
The Houthi fighters, identified by the United States as a terrorist organization, have engaged in multiple attacks on shipping in the Red Sea region, raising concerns over maritime security and regional stability.
In addition to the announcement regarding the Houthis, Trump disclosed plans to travel to the Middle East next Monday, with scheduled visits to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
He hinted at a ‘very, very big announcement’ expected prior to his trip, possibly as soon as Thursday or Friday, describing it as a positive development related to a significant issue, though he clarified it is ‘not necessarily’ trade-related.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who met with Trump, expressed his appreciation for U.S. efforts towards international security.
He referred to Trump as a ‘transformative’ president focused on the economy, American workers, border security, and global safety.
The agenda for the upcoming U.S.-Canada summit includes discussions on bilateral trade reforms, tariff disputes, and the diplomatic resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
