Trump Announced The Capitulation Of The Houthis
Donald Trump

The U.S. president abruptly announced that strikes against them would be stopped.

U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly announced on Tuesday, May 6, that Yemen's Houthi rebels have "capitulated" and that strikes against them by the United States Army will cease. "The Husis have announced ... that they no longer want to fight," Trump told reporters at the White House, at a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The U.S. leader said the Yemeni rebels "say they will no longer blow up ships." "We welcome that, and we will stop bombing," Trump said.

Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi wrote on social media X that the U.S. and the Houthis had reached a ceasefire agreement brokered by his country. "In the future, neither side will harass the other, including US ships, in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and unhindered movement of international commercial vessels," al-Busaidi said.

The AFP agency notes that the US has bombed Houthi targets almost every day for the past seven weeks. According to statements by the Yemeni rebels themselves, about 300 people have been killed as a result. It is not possible to verify this data from independent sources.
