President Donald Trump declared that Yemen’s Houthis have surrendered to the United States.
Trump announced an end to the U.S. bombing campaign in response to the Houthis’ agreement to halt attacks on shipping.
The Houthis’ capitulation marks a significant development in the conflict in Yemen.
The U.S. had been conducting airstrikes against Houthi targets in support of the Saudi-led coalition.
The conflict in Yemen has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with millions facing food insecurity and lack of access to basic necessities.
The Houthis’ decision to stop attacks on shipping could potentially ease tensions in the region.
However, the situation remains fragile, and further efforts are needed to achieve a lasting peace in Yemen.
The U.S. has faced criticism for its involvement in the conflict and its support for the Saudi-led coalition.
The announcement of the end of U.S. strikes comes as a surprise to many observers following years of military intervention in Yemen.
