Signal chat reveals isolationist Vance as Trump asserts control internationally

Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14175 to designate the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, intending to dismantle their operations. The administration seeks to address the threat they pose to vital shipping routes in the Red Sea through military action. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed concern about President Trump's military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, asserting that it might be a mistake. The Defense Department confirmed that strikes against Houthi leadership are ongoing and reiterated the campaign’s commitment to restoring freedom of navigation.
