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 before. The Houthis announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia at the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, which Trump said has not yet materialized. He also confirmed plans to visit Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer of soldiers' remains.
