Trump campaigned on ending "endless wars," but now commits U.S. forces to large-scale operations in Yemen.

According to an announcement posted to the White House webpage, Trump has formally notified Congress that he has deployed additional combat-equipped U.S. forces to the Middle East and launched large-scale military strikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi militants. In a letter sent to both House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate President Pro Tempore Charles Grassley, Trump described the Houthis as a "band of pirates" who have attacked U.S. forces and commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
