Trump's declaration of a cease-fire with Houthis, amidst their ongoing conflict with Israel, showcases a clear "America First" approach to foreign policy. While he announced that the U.S. would cease aerial operations against the Houthis in exchange for their agreement not to target American ships, analysts highlight the lack of resolution in the broader Yemeni conflict. With the Houthis continuing their aggression toward Israel and potential implications for Western allies, the announcement raises questions about the reliability of U.S. foreign commitments and relationships with allies, particularly Europe.
The U.S. has extracted itself from the conflict but not ended it; there is no sign the Houthis will end their war with Israel.
Trump's unexpected announcement of a cease-fire with the Houthis illustrates an "America First" foreign policy, focusing on U.S. interests even at the expense of allies.
Some analysts question if the cease-fire will apply to Britain's and other Western allies' ships, potentially straining transatlantic relationships.
Oman's foreign minister indicated that the truce would likely extend to cover other Western countries, despite uncertainties surrounding American commitments.
