Clock: Trump says that Houthis '' no longer wants to fight. 'We will stop bombings

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the Houthi rebel dispute in Yemen signaled the United States that they no longer want to fight.

“You just don't want to fight and we will honor,” said Trump during a bilateral meeting with the visit of the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office.

“We will stop the bomb attacks and they have surrendered, but more important, we will take their word. They say that they no longer chase ships in the air. And that is the purpose of what we have done.”

“This was always a mission of freedom of navigation,” said Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. “These boys are a group of people with advanced weapons who threaten global shipping, and the task was to make it stop.”

Since mid -March, the United States has conducted an intensified bomb campaign against the Houthis in response to its attacks on shipping ships and in particular Israeli ships. The Houthis said their goal is to put Israel under pressure to help Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel has blocked the help from entering the Gaza in the middle of a desperate humanitarian crisis for more than two months.

The military of Israel aimed on Tuesday on Tuesday on the group supported by Iraner, which disabled the international airport of Yemen and reached several power plants.
