Rubio defends US airstrikes on Houthi rebels as 'favor' to global security
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends President Trump's airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, saying they are 'doing the world a favor' by targeting the militant group.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended President Donald Trump's airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, saying the US is 'doing the world a favor' by targeting the militant group. Rubio made the comments amid controversy over the airstrikes, which occurred despite international calls for restraint and a ceasefire. The US has been involved in a military conflict with Houthi rebels since 2015, and the airstrikes are part of efforts to undermine their control in Yemen. Rubio's remarks suggest that Washington believes its actions against the Houthi rebels are justified and aligns with US national interests.
