Trump Supports Somalia Against Houthis
United States President Donald Trump pledged support for Somalia in its struggle against the Yemeni Houthi movement, declaring that the United States would stand with the Somali people in the face of ongoing regional threats. In a post on TruthSocial, Trump stated that he had "empowered" U.S. warfighters, calling it “time for the terrorists to hide.”
“Our Warfighters, the Greatest the World has ever seen, will find them, and bring them to swift Justice,” Trump wrote. He emphasized the capability and determination of American military forces to take action against threats like the Houthis, who have been a persistent presence in Yemen and the surrounding region.
Trump further committed to helping Somalia restore stability and economic growth, promising to “bring back prosperity” to the nation. His remarks underscore the administration’s intention to maintain a strong U.S. military presence and regional engagement in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen. President Trump had earlier declared that the Houthis had been “decimated” by American operations, indicating a sustained effort to dismantle the group’s capabilities.
As the situation in the region continues to evolve, Trump’s message signals continued U.S. commitment to counterterrorism efforts and alliances with strategic partners like Somalia. The president’s emphasis on justice, strength, and partnership reflects the broader priorities of his administration’s foreign policy in volatile regions.
