The Wall Street Journal》: Trump told Egyptian President that the US hopes he will assist in attacking the Houthi武装.
According to知情 sources, US President Trump told Egyptian President Sisi that the United States hopes Egypt will help it strike against the Houthi武装 in Yemen.
The report pointed out that Trump made this request in a phone call in April.
The message said, "Trump told the Egyptian President that the US hopes he will support the strike against the Houthi武装 through military assistance, sharing intelligence to help determine targets, or providing funds because it can improve the passage of the Suez Canal." It was reported that at the same time, Trump also proposed the possibility of allowing US ships to pass through the Suez Canal freely.
The report also mentioned that previously, the US had warned Egyptian officials that it might significantly cut economic aid to Egypt.
Trump previously stated that American warships and merchant ships should be exempt from tariffs when passing through the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal.
On March 15, the US President ordered the military to take "decisive and strong" action against the Houthi武装 in Yemen. The US Central Command pointed out that the US has launched a large-scale operation to "protect US interests".
