Former President Donald Trump asserted on Saturday in Dublin that Yemen’s Houthi rebels have asked the United States to stay out of the conflict, a claim reported by Dawn that remains uncorroborated by official sources.
Why it matters: The unverified claim highlights shifting regional dynamics as the Houthis expand their control over strategic Red Sea corridors Home.
- Trump stated that the Houthis "don’t want to fight with us" during his visit to Ireland Home.
- The Saudi crown prince reportedly asked Trump for U.S. strikes against the group, which Trump declined Home.
