Trump Claims Houthis Agree Not to Fight U.S., as Attacks Mount on Saudi Allies
Trump said the Houthis told Washington they do not want to fight U.S. forces as attacks on Saudi Arabia intensify, Fox News reported.
- On Sept 20, President Donald Trump stated Yemen's Houthis agreed not to attack the United States. Fox News reporter Trey Yingst cited the President saying Washington is "in constant communication with the Houthis and that they've agreed not to fight the United States."
- This assurance comes despite the Iran-allied group intensifying their war against Saudi Arabia. A missile targeted the capital Riyadh on Sept 19, putting pressure on the close United States ally amid rising regional tensions.
- Trump previously claimed the group wants to avoid conflict, stating during an Ireland visit on Sept 12, "They don't want us to go after them." He reiterated this position when speaking to Fox News on Sunday.

- Fears of rapid escalation persist across West Asia as the Houthis gain territory from the Saudi-backed government. The region remains volatile as the United States navigates these shifting dynamics and potential military responses.
