Trump downplays Houthi threat to blockade Red Sea

President Donald Trump downplays a threat from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to blockade the Red Sea, stating the U.S. has addressed the group previously. The Houthis announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia at the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, which could disrupt global oil markets and breach a 2025 ceasefire. Trump confirmed plans to visit Dover Air Force Base for a dignified transfer of remains of soldiers killed in the conflict.
