The Houthi militia based in the country has “capitulated” and does not “want to fight anymore,” the US president has claimed
Washington will immediately halt air strikes on Yemen, US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday. He made the announcement while speaking at the White House alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The order comes after weeks of US-led attacks on Yemen targeting the Houthi militant group, which has “capitulated” and pledged to stop attacks on commercial maritime traffic in the region.
The US president said the Houthi group has told Washington it did not “want to fight anymore”. “We will honor that and we will stop the bombings. They have capitulated,” Trump stated.
