Middle East Trip and Yemen Development
The President is scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates from May 13-16, marking a significant diplomatic engagement in the region. During the meeting with Prime Minister Carney, Trump also revealed that the United States would cease bombing operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen. This decision follows what the President described as the Houthis’ expressed desire to end hostilities.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly praised this development regarding Yemen, noting that the United States has achieved its objective of halting threats to global shipping routes. This announcement regarding the Houthis may be connected to the president’s upcoming regional tour, where security and stability in the Middle East are expected to feature prominently on the agenda.

Canadian Prime Minister’s Visit
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s presence during Trump’s announcement teaser added an international dimension to the moment. The Canadian leader, responding to Trump’s hints about the forthcoming news, quipped that he was “on the edge of my seat.” This marked Carney’s first official visit to the White House since assuming office, with the leaders discussing bilateral trade relations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
While no formal trade agreement was reached during the meeting, both leaders indicated progress toward a potential deal. In a lighthearted moment that drew laughter from those present, Trump reiterated his familiar campaign trail joke about seeing Canada become America’s 51st state. The meeting between the two leaders was characterized by warm exchanges despite ongoing trade negotiations between the neighboring countries.
