President Donald Trump says the U.S. will stop airstrikes on Houthi militants in Yemen effective immediately. "We will stop the bombings," Trump said. Trump made the announcement as he met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House. He said Houthi rebels informed the U.S. that they don't want to fight anymore and the administration would honor that request. "They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word," he said. "They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore."

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the U.S. will stop bombing the Houthis in Yemen after the Iran-aligned group agreed to stop interrupting important shipping lanes in the Middle East. In an Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump announced the Houthis have said that they no longer want to fight but did not elaborate on the message. "They said please don't bomb us any more and we're not going to attack your ships," Trump said. There was no immediate response from the Houthis.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the U.S. will stop its bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen after the terrorist group told him they "don't want to fight." "They just don't want to fight," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office. "They just don't want to, and we will honor that. We will stop the bombings." Trump said the bombings on Houthi targets will stop "effectively immediately." Secretary of State Marco Rubio then said the "job" was to get attacks on ships in the region to stop. "If that's going to stop, we will stop," he added.
