President Donald Trump ordered heavy attacks on Houthi terrorists in Yemen on Saturday. That marked a sharp turn from the last administration’s strategy, which left the Suez Canal unusable by American-flagged ships.
The Houthis, a radical Islamist group that is allied with Iran, have been attacking shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since October 7th, 2023, as a show of solidarity with Hamas. That has led to global economic disruptions and rises in prices because ships are being forced around the entirety of Africa to avoid the terrorists.

Trump has decided enough is enough, and in a blistering statement, he explained the goal of the strikes while embarrassing Joe Biden in the process.
