US President Donald Trump has said Washington will “see what happens” with regard to Yemen’s Houthi rebels threatening to impose a naval blockade of the Red Sea.
Fielding questions from reporters at the White House, Trump says, “If something like that happens, we take care of it. We’ve done that with the Houthis before, and we haven’t heard from them in a while … and we’ve had no problem with the Houthis and they’ve had no problem with us for a long period of time, including during this conflict.
“I think if there is something like that, we’ll just have to take care of business,” he adds.
