Houthi leader: Trump will 'fail' to end conflict in Middle East

The leader of Yemen's Houthis has said newly elected Donald Trump will "fail" to end the fighting in the Middle East as president, citing his earlier "deal of the century" proposal to the Israelis and Palestinians last time he was in office.

"Trump failed in the project of... the deal of the century despite all his arrogance, haughtiness, recklessness and tyranny, and he will fail this time as well," Abdul Malik al-Houthi said in his weekly speech.
