Trump says Houthis showed ‘bravery,’ believes they will honor truce deal
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
US President Donald Trump says he takes the Houthis at their word that they will honor the truce struck yesterday, which is supposed to see a halt in Houthi attacks on US vessels in exchange for a halt in US strikes on the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen.
“We take their word for it… We hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment,” he says. “You could say there’s a lot of bravery there.”
