The White House released photos of President Donald Trump watching the strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists on Saturday while donning a headset and wearing golf attire.
“President Trump is taking action against the Houthis to defend US shipping assets and deter terrorist threats,” the White House said in a statement. “For too long American economic & national threats have been under assault by the Houthis. Not under this presidency.”

Trump ordered the large-scale air and naval strikes against the Islamic terrorist group in Yemen, targeting radars, air defenses, missiles, and drones.
Reuters reported that at least 19 were killed during the strikes.
Some reports even seemed to indicate that Trump targeted some of the groups’ leaders at their homes.
