Trump says US may join Saudi strikes against Houthis: 'We'll make a decision very quickly'

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States may join Saudi Arabia military strikes against the Houthis, saying his administration is reviewing the latest developments and could reach a decision quickly.

Asked whether he had decided if the US would participate in the Saudi strikes, Trump replied: "We may. We're going to look at it soon. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision. We move very quickly."

He later added: "We're going to take a look."

Trump's remarks leave open the possibility of direct US military involvement alongside Saudi Arabia against the Houthis, though he did not announce a final decision or provide details about what form American participation might take.

Trump turns on Zelensky: 'Time for Ukraine to get a new president'

Trump then launched a broad attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of repeatedly passing up opportunities to end the war with Russia.

"Zelensky could have settled this war many times, many, many times, and he chooses not to," Trump said.

He again argued that the war would never have begun had he been president at the time and said the conflict "started due to incompetence."

Trump's criticism grew sharper when he called for a leadership change in Kyiv.

"I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal, because he could have made many deals that, for some reason, he never does," Trump said.

"I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president."

Trump also accused Zelensky of ignoring US requests not to strike Russian diesel refineries because of the potential impact on global supplies.

"We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia. Don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem," Trump said.

He said he had told Zelensky directly: "There's plenty of targets. Don't hit refineries."

"And he went out, and he hit," Trump said, adding that Zelensky "better damn well stop."

Trump argued that strikes on Russian diesel facilities could affect American farmers and ranchers as well as energy markets worldwide.

*Trump again attacks Nobel Peace Prize decision*

Trump also renewed his criticism of the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay.

Asked about Pillay's criticism of sanctions against the court, Trump instead listed what he described as his own peace achievements.

"I ended eight wars. I got all the hostages back, dead and alive. I brought in over 300 hostages from other countries," Trump said.

Trump says there's 'something wrong in Norway' after not receiving the Nobel Prize

He then attacked the Nobel decision directly.

"They gave the Nobel Prize to a person that nobody ever heard of," Trump said. "I'd never heard of her. Nobody that I know ever heard of her."

"All we know is I think she's very anti-Israel. That's what I hear," he added.

Trump concluded: "Something wrong in Norway. Let me tell you."

The comments echoed remarks he made earlier in which he cited the return of Israeli hostages, both living and dead, as one of the central accomplishments he believed should have strengthened his claim to the prize.

*Trump weighs livestreaming Fort Hood execution*

Trump was also asked about the possible livestreaming of the execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter.

He said there were arguments on both sides.

"There are two thoughts: don't show it and show it," Trump said.

He suggested that broadcasting the execution could deter others.

"Maybe other people won't be doing what he did," Trump said.

Trump said he had not yet made a final decision.

"I'll make a decision ultimately. I know what the military would like to do, but we'll make a decision."
