After Trump's first military order ended in a 'botched' raid that left children dead, Yemen withdrew permission to let the United States run Special Operations ground missions in its country on Tuesday

After Trump's first military order ended in a 'botched' raid, Yemen has withdrawn permission to let the United States run Special Operations ground missions in its country.

Just five days after taking the White House, President Trump signed off on the Navy SEAL team mission targeting al-Qaeda leaders and intelligence that President Obama had previously passed on.

Indeed, according to White House insiders Trump reportedly agreed to the operation after he was told the former president 'wouldn't have been bold enough' to go for the 'game-changer',CNBC reported an official saying.

The raid - which Trump labeled a 'success' - left a SEAL Team 6 member and an eight-year-American old girl dead on January 29 and caused outrage in the Middle Eastern country.

Although the White House has not publicly announced the news, Yemen's ambassador to the US said the country's cooperation should not come 'at the expense of the Yemeni citizens and the country’s sovereignty'.

Trump flew to Delaware to be present and honor the first military casualty of his presidency, Chief Special Warfare Officer William 'Ryan' Owens, as the SEAL's body was returned to U.S. soil on February 1.

Despite the Trump's administration labeling the mission as a 'success' on Tuesday U.S. military officials told Reuters, however, that Trump approved his first covert counter-terrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparation.

He ordered the attack after Obama had deferred the decision to the 45th president.

The purpose of the mission was to recover laptops, cell phones and other intelligence that would help battle Al Qaeda groups in the region.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the operation gained 'an unbelievable amount of intelligence' in the raid 'that will prevent potential deaths or attacks on American soil.'

The Defense Department denies allegations that the day's true purpose was aimed at the high-ranking terrorist and Al Qaeda leader Qassim al-Rimi.

In the attack, U.S. Navy SEAL William 'Ryan' Owens was killed in the raid on a branch of al Qaeda, in al Bayda province, which the Pentagon said killed 14 militants.

The White House denies that the secret target of last week's Navy SEAL raid was al-Qaeda's head operative in the Arabian Peninsula, Qassim al-Rimi. He is still alive and has taunted Donald Trump in an audio recording released Sunday

The 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a militant killed by a 2011 U.S. drone strike, was also one of the dead.

Medics at the scene said about 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed.

The president of Yemen voiced concerns about the raid according to the country's ambassador to the United States, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, reported the New York Times.

He said in an interview with Al Jazeera: 'Yemen’s government is a key partner in the war against terrorism.

He also said Yemen's willingness to work with America should not come 'at the expense of the Yemeni citizens and the country’s sovereignty'.
