SANAA, July 28 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Houthi militant group said late Sunday it would begin targeting "all foreign ships linked to Israel, regardless of their destination," citing revenge for what it called Israel's "blockade and starvation" of Gaza.

“This escalation includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality and wherever they are, within the reach of our forces,” rebel-led military spokesman Yahya Saria said in a statement broadcast by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV channel.

“We warn all companies to stop their operations with Israeli ports from the hour this statement is issued,” he said, calling on all countries to pressure Israel to stop its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip “if they want to avoid this escalation.”

Earlier this month, the Houthis claimed responsibility for sinking two commercial vessels, the Magic Seas and the Eternity C, in the Red Sea. In 2024 alone, the group has attacked and sunk four vessels. In 2023, the Houthis seized the Galaxy Leader and detained its crew, who were later released through Omani mediation, though the vessel remains in Houthi custody.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel and its allied vessels in the Red Sea since November 2023 to show solidarity with the Palestinians and try to pressure Israel to end its military operations in Gaza. –0–

LONDON, July 28 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday that the two sides have reached a trade deal under which the United States will impose a basic 15 percent tariff on goods from the European Union.

The statement was made at a joint press briefing on Sunday afternoon following talks at US President Donald Trump's golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.

Pharmaceuticals were excluded from the deal, while existing 50 percent tariffs on EU steel and aluminum exports to the United States will remain in place.

While both leaders described the deal as a step toward restoring “trade balance” and promoting more equitable bilateral trade, the agreement allows the United States to impose broad 15 percent tariffs on EU goods while providing zero-tariff access to a range of strategic American exports. In return, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in American energy and investing an additional $600 billion in the United States.

At a press briefing, D. Trump said the agreement would allow American cars to re-enter the European market and make American agricultural exports more accessible to the EU. –0–
