They come weeks after a campaign of U.S. airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen to stop them from attacking vital shipping lanes. However, Suez Canal authorities say U.S.-flagged ships account for only a small fraction of canal traffic. Analysts believe the cost of Trump\u2019s demand would be relatively modest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1997\" data-end=\"2206\">On Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social:\u201cAmerican ships, both military and commercial, must pass freely through the Panama and Suez Canals!

In the call, Trump offered U.S. military and intelligence support for operations against the Houthis\u2014framing it as a way to restore canal traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2726\" data-end=\"2848\">However, el-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/03\/04\/sisis-alleged-suez-canal-deal-egypts-economic-gambit-or-national-security-threat\/\">Sisi<\/a> objected and stressed that a ceasefire in Gaza is the key to stopping Houthi attacks, those sources said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"3077\">National Security Council spokesman James Hewitt commented:\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s operation to restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea will directly benefit American workers, consumers, and global partners\u2014including Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3079\" data-end=\"3352\">He added that costs should be broadly shared and that one such way is granting U.S. ships free passage through the canal. Egypt declined comment, but canal revenues are a sensitive issue, as the canal is a major source of foreign currency alongside tourism and remittances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3354\" data-end=\"3517\">El-Sisi previously launched a parallel canal expansion costing $8.5 billion. It is viewed as a symbol of Egyptian sovereignty and independence from foreign powers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3790\">Trump\u2019s request for free passage comes amid separate U.S. pressure on Egypt to accept displaced residents from Gaza\u2014part of Trump\u2019s controversial proposal to turn Gaza into a &#8220;Middle East Riviera.&#8221; Egypt has firmly rejected this idea as a threat to its national security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3792\" data-end=\"3946\">The report notes that Egyptian officials visiting Washington this spring were informed of potential significant cuts to U.S. economic and development aid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5715\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5715 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Commercial-ships-are-avoiding-the-Suez-Canal-and-the-Bab-el-Mandeb-Strait-following-the-Houthi-attacks.jpg\" alt=\"the Suez Canal\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Commercial-ships-are-avoiding-the-Suez-Canal-and-the-Bab-el-Mandeb-Strait-following-the-Houthi-attacks.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Commercial-ships-are-avoiding-the-Suez-Canal-and-the-Bab-el-Mandeb-Strait-following-the-Houthi-attacks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Commercial-ships-are-avoiding-the-Suez-Canal-and-the-Bab-el-Mandeb-Strait-following-the-Houthi-attacks-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Commercial-ships-are-avoiding-the-Suez-Canal-and-the-Bab-el-Mandeb-Strait-following-the-Houthi-attacks-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Commercial ships are avoiding the Suez Canal and the Bab el Mandeb Strait following the Houthi attacks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3948\" data-end=\"4228\">Michael Wahid Hanna, director of the U.S. program at the International Crisis Group and expert on Egyptian security policy, said Trump is \u201cissuing sweeping declarations on sensitive matters for Egypt without a coherent foreign policy or coordination with the Egyptian government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4230\" data-end=\"4390\">As a result, Hanna noted, \u201cEgypt is left to interpret what the statements mean and scramble for a response that protects its interests without provoking Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4392\" data-end=\"4622\">Historically, the U.S. played a role in defending the canal during the 1956 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/04\/16\/navigating-troubled-waters-the-economic-impact-of-middle-east-conflict-on-egypts-suez-canal\/\">Suez<\/a> Crisis, when Washington forced France, Britain, and Israel to withdraw. That same year, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the canal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4624\" data-end=\"4736\">While Trump claims the canal wouldn\u2019t exist without the U.S., it was originally constructed by a French company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4738\" data-end=\"4851\">Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command announced it has hit over 800 targets in Yemen since operations began last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4853\" data-end=\"5026\">The Pentagon has also deployed B-2 bombers and aircraft carriers to the Red Sea\u2014a costly mission that has yet to convince commercial ships to resume using Suez-bound routes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"5028\" data-end=\"5391\">Private Signal chats among senior U.S. officials\u2014exposed by The Atlantic\u2019s editor-in-chief\u2014revealed Trump\u2019s keen interest in securing compensation for the operation. One participant, identified as Trump advisor Stephen Miller, said:\u201cAs you\u2019ve heard, the president was clear: green light, but we\u2019ll be clear with Egypt and Europe on what we expect in return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"5393\" data-end=\"5508\">He emphasized that the U.S. expects economic benefits in exchange for restoring full navigation in the Red
