Donald Trump Has Been Sentenced to Death by Yemen Court for Alleged War Crimes

US President Donald Trump has been sentenced to death for alleged war crimes by a court in Yemen. The US President was sentenced with nine other defendants including a Saudi King and Prince. The case against the defendants went ahead in their absence today at Houthi-run Specialized Criminal Court in the Yemeni governorate of Saada, and resulted in the death penalty against the US leader.

The court issued death sentences against U President Donald Trump, Saudi King Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince, Commander of the Saudi Air Force Turki bin Bandar and Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.

Yemen’s Vice President Ali Mohsin Al-Ahmar, Prime Minister Ahmed bin Dagher, Defence Minister Muhammad Al-Maqdishi, and former US Defence Secretary James Mattis were also sentenced to death. The court also ruled that the accused should pay $10 billion to the families of those killed in the 2019 airstrike.

The charges were related to an airstrike which reportedly hit a school bus, killing 51 people including 40 children. Yemen’s internationally recognized government has been battling the Iran-backed Houthi movement, which has seized most of the north of the country and the capital Sana’a, since 2014.

A Saudi-led military coalition joined on the side of the government the following year. The United Nations has called the Yemeni conflict the world’s worst humanitarian disaster. More than 100,000 people, mostly civilians have been killed and millions more displaced.

The Yemeni government’s Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the Houthi-run criminal court should be shut down in 2018. Meanwhile, the US President returned to the Oval Office on Wednesday less than a week after testing positive for Coronavirus pandemic.

The leader insisted he felt great after his Covid-19 illness, describing it as “a blessing from God”. In a video message on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said all Americans should have access to the experimental treatments he was given.

According to Donald Trump words: “This was a blessing in disguise – I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said let me take it and it was incredible.”

Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States of America. He took over power after Barack Obama tenure ended. Since he became President of the United States of America he has been on the news for most of his wrong speech, controversial speech and hate speech. Unfortunately, last week contracted the Coronavirus.
