Trump Demands Sisi Give US Ships Free Passage Through Suez, Support Against Houthis
"President Donald Trump asked his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah

el-Sisi, for American ships to enjoy free passage through the Suez Canal in an April phone call, as the US presses ahead with its bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen.
Trump has made no secret of his belief that US vessels should transit the strategic waterway for free. On Saturday, he publicly demanded as much, saying the canal "would not exist without the United States of America." ZeroHedge
