US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he spoke with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and discussed topics including Yemen and Gaza.
He said that the two spoke about the “tremendous military progress” by the United States in strikes against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia, which has been attacking Red Sea shipping.
In a post on his social media platform, Trump said the pair discussed US military operations against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, as well as the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and “possible solutions” to the conflict, as well as “military preparedness.”
Trump said the call went very well.
