Donald Trump says Yemen’s Houthis have asked the United States not to intervene. The claim is reported in connection with recent Houthi advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast.
Multiple outlets note that the Houthis have taken control of the full Red Sea coastline after capturing three strategic islands in what is described as a rapid offensive. Vanguard and Deccan Chronicle both frame Trump’s statement in the context of these territorial gains, suggesting it is part of the broader effort to manage international involvement in the region.
The coverage presented here focuses on Trump’s reported comment and the status of control along the Red Sea, without adding differing details on the exact terms of any request, the US response, or independent verification from officials in either Yemen or the United States. Both accounts align on the core points: Trump’s claim about the Houthis’ request and the Houthis’ control of the Red Sea coast following the island captures.
