US EditionNYT: Trump Ended Houthi Attacks Due To Operational Failures, High Costs And Internal Opposition
- President Trump ended the U.S. Air campaign against the Houthi militant group in Yemen by early May 2025 after several weeks of strikes in the region.
- The campaign faced rising costs exceeding $1 billion, internal opposition, and operational setbacks, including nearly losing an F-35 stealth fighter jet and losing seven MQ-9 drones.
- U.S. And Gulf allies disagreed on strategy; Saudi Arabia supported targeting 12 senior Houthi leaders, while the UAE remained skeptical based on past difficulties.
- Trump accepted an Omani-brokered ceasefire in early May, under which the Houthis agreed to stop firing on American ships, a deal Trump described as honoring their commitment and bravery.
- The conclusion of the campaign highlights the Houthis' enduring strength, limitations in U.S. Military resources, and growing worries about maintaining preparedness for other significant global challenges, including possible aggression by China toward Taiwan.
