Donald Trump has blasted NATO yet again, accusing the alliance of failing to support the United States during the Iran conflict. In a series of fiery posts, Trump warned that allies who did not back Washington could face consequences, raising fears of a potential US exit from NATO. The White House has also discussed plans to punish “unhelpful” NATO members by moving American troops out of their countries. Around 84,000 US troops are currently stationed across Europe, and any redeployment could dramatically reshape the alliance’s security structure.

President Donald Trump has removed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and announced Senator Markwayne Mullin as his new pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security. However, the appointment has already triggered intense political backlash. Critics, including veterans and activists, have called out Mullin over previous remarks describing the “smell of war” and referring to combat as “ugly,” comments many say came across as tone-deaf. Others have questioned his military credentials and accused him of exaggerating his proximity to combat during the January 6 Capitol chaos. WATCH
