US President Donald Trump announced today that he has ordered the US military to launch a decisive and powerful military operation against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Trump stated: "The Houthi attacks on American ships are unacceptable. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we achieve our goal. The Houthis have blocked maritime transport in one of the world's most important waterways, halted vast sectors of global trade, and attacked the principle of Freedom of Navigation, a cornerstone of international trade."

He added: "No terrorist force will prevent American trade and naval vessels from freely navigating the world's waterways."

"Your support for the Houthi terrorists must end immediately! Do not threaten the American people, their president – the president who has received the greatest mandate in presidential history – or the global maritime routes."
