MADRID, 12 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, stated this Friday that the Ansar Allah movement, known as the Houthi rebels of Yemen, should be considered a terrorist group when asked about the recent joint bombings by Washington and London against the positions of the group in Yemen.
“Are you willing to call the Houthis a terrorist group?” a journalist asked him in a cafeteria during an official visit to Emmaus, in the state of Pennsylvania, to which the US president responded bluntly: “I think they are.” “, as reported by Bloomberg.
Likewise, asked about the possibility of new bombings in Yemen if the attacks against ships in the Red Sea do not stop, Biden stressed that both Washington and its allies “will make sure to respond” as long as they maintain this “scandalous behavior.”
The Biden Administration removed the Houthis from its list of terrorist groups in February 2021 after recognizing that this designation could have “a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic goods such as food and fuel.”
