Donald Trump says ‘Houthis are dying for peace’
The US president has been responding to questions about top administration officials revealing military plans to bomb Yemen in a messaging group chat that also included a journalist.
Trump, speaking at the White House, described the uproar over the war plans leak as a “witch-hunt” and said, “I wasn’t involved with it [the group chat]. I wasn’t there.”
But, he said, the result of the US campaign against Yemen’s Houthis, which began last week, is “unbelievable”.
“The Houthis want peace because they’re getting the hell knocked out of them,” he said. “The Houthis are dying for peace.”
The US offensive, which began on March 15, has killed at least 53 people, including five children and two women.
The Houthis have said the US attacks will not deter them from preventing Israeli-linked ships from transiting the Red Sea.
Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, said on Tuesday that the group’s position will not change “no matter the repercussions or results” of using “Yemen as a battlefield to flex your muscles”.
