Trump says Houthis showed 'bravery' and 'commitment' after ceasefire deal
US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) surprised many by praising the Houthis for their "bravery." Speaking at the White House, Trump said, "You know, we hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment. They took tremendous punishment. You can say there's a lot of bravery thereIt was amazing what they took. But we honour their commitment and their word." This came just a day after Trump said the US would stop its bombing campaign against Houthis in Yemen after a ceasefire was facilitated by Oman. "They just don't want to fight," Trump said in an Oval Office Tuesday morning during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. "And we will honour that, and we will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated. But more importantly, we will take their word," he added. HOUTHIS CONFIRM DEAL WITH US In response, the Houthis also confirmed they have reached an agreement with the United States to pause attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, in exchange for a pause in US airstrikes on Houthi locations in Yemen. Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdul-Salam added that the ceasefire with the US has "no connection with our stance on supporting Gaza." America has been bombing Houthi targets since March, inflicting damage to make the terror masters of Iran nervous about support for their Yemeni proxy. The White House and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth later in the afternoon reposted a statement on X by the Omani foreign minister that said his government had coordinated a ceasefire between the US and the Houthis. The White House and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth then reposted Omani foreign minister Badr Albusaidi's statement on X which stated that his government had brokered a ceasefire between the US and the Houthis. "In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping," the minister said in the post.
