President Donald Trump announced today that the United States will stop bombing the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen after the latter told the United States they no longer want to fight.
"We will respect that and we will stop the bombing ," Trump said from the Oval Office. He was referring to the military campaign the United States has been waging against the Houthi rebels since mid-March in response to the group's attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea and Israel.
" They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word for it... They say they will not blow up any more ships ," Trump said.
CNN writes that the US military was instructed on Monday evening to withdraw from attacks against the Houthis.
Israel has been striking targets in Yemen this week in response to a Houthi ballistic missile launch on Sunday that hit Israel's main airport.
Trump's announcement on Tuesday came after a flurry of diplomatic activity in recent days between the US, Oman and the Houthis.
