For much of this past week,the US president was consumed by a single question. What should he do about national security adviser Michael Waltz?
Details of a planned US airstrike in Yemen mistakenly shared with a journalist on the messaging app Signal were almost certainly classified information,military experts say.
The Atlantic released the operational details sent by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to the breached Signal group after the Trump administration insisted the information wasn’t classified.
Two top national security leaders who were members of the highly sensitive Signal group chat discussing airstrikes in Yemen fronted a Senate hearing,denying that classified information had been shared.
For any other government,accidentally adding a journalist to a chat about military airstrikes would be a crisis. For Trump’s,it’s barely a blip on the radar.
Meanwhile,E3 countries say they are “appalled” by the violence in Gaza and called for an immediate stop to strikes.
US President Donald Trump has launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen,promising to use “overwhelming lethal force” until the Iranian-backed Houthis cease attacks on shipping.
The operation is the third major incursion by the Israeli army in less than two years into Jenin,as the military says it is applying lessons learnt in Gaza.
By doubling down on his cry to “drill,baby,drill” and removing all limits on America’s booming fossil fuel industry,the new president has once again declared war on the world’s climate mitigation efforts. But this is a war he can’t win.
The strikes mark the latest salvo as the US and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by the Iranian-backed militant group.
