“Trump signed a decree recognizing the Houthis as “terrorists”. The decision is related to Houthi attacks on US ships in the Red Sea and the threat to maritime trade.”, — write on: unn.ua
Details
It is noted that the actions of the Houthis threaten the safety of American civilians and personnel in the Middle East, the safety of our closest regional partners, and the stability of global maritime trade.
This executive order initiates the process by which Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, will be considered for designation as a foreign terrorist organization under Section 219 of the INA (8 USC 1189)
The document states that the Iranian-backed Ansar Allah group has fired dozens of times at US Navy warships since 2023 in the waters of the Red Sea. Thus, the Houthis “created a danger to American men and women in uniform.”
“The policy of the United States is to work with our regional partners to destroy Ansar Allah’s capabilities and operations, deprive it of its resources, and thereby end its attacks on American personnel and civilians,” the statement said.
We will remind
Donald Trump reversed Biden’s recent decision to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Biden’s decision was part of an agreement with the Catholic Church to release 553 political prisoners.
