I will just point out too, because a lot of critics out there are making hay of this, it was President Trump that put sanctions on Russia's largest oil producer, Rosneft. He also put sanctions on Lukoil. The Biden administration did not do that for many years.

In military terms, this means that even those who have surrendered will be killed, explains Jacqueline Hellman, an expert in international law at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The statement "alludes to a practice that is expressly prohibited," she told DW, adding that, as mere rhetoric, this is not punishable. But, she explained, such a statement could be classified as a war crime if it is formulated as an order and results in corresponding actions by the armed forces.

Pentagon staffers had banned photographers from major news wires like Reuters and the Associated Press after they became angry over what they believed were unflattering pictures of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a March 2 briefing. Two anonymous sources said the department then barred photographers from two subsequent briefings on March 4 and March 10, only allowing Defense Department staff photographers inside the room.

On March 3rd, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador. The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism. Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.

People look back on their careers and go: 'Wow it wasn't a straight line,'" Perino told Fortune. "If I had planned out my whole life, my life wouldn't have been my life.

It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president as commander in chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation. It's not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on table.

Overnight, on President Trump's orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY—the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history. The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal—and now they are suffering the consequences.

The Army Secretary is viewed as a close ally to Vice President JD Vance, having attended Yale Law School with him, and resisted Hegseth's pressure to fire Butler for months because of his ongoing contributions to the transformation of the Army, Griffin wrote, reporting how Butler was actually on a list to be promoted, not fired: Butler served as the head of public affairs for the Joint Chiefs when Gen. Mark Milley was chairman, and was slated to receive his first star.

Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked for the VA, was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday. Shortly afterwards, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called Pretti a domestic terrorist; other Trump administration officials also made comments accusing him of brandishing his weapon and intending to kill or massacre federal agents, among other unfounded claims. Video evidence taken by several bystanders, reviewed in frame-by-frame detail by multiple media outlets, contradicted these claims.

BAIER: So that was May 2025. I mean, I don't think we, the public, have a more robust picture of that shooter. PATEL: Well, I think that's an unfair supposition. We, the FBI, have put out all the information that we possibly and legally can, while protecting any ongoing matters that are unrelated to him. BAIER: But he's dead. PATEL: Well, yes. He's very much dead.
