Hegseth cuts program – signed by Trump
In a post on X, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasts that he has closed a program that was proposed by "left-wing activists". But the proposal was signed into law in 2017 by Donald Trump during his first term, reports the AP.
"Women, Peace & Security", as the program is called, supports women in the security sector. In his post, Hegseth writes that the program is now closed within the Defense Department and attributes it to the "weak and woke" Biden administration.
"A UN program that was forced by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians admire it, soldiers hate it", he wrote.
The program was considered particularly important in US military operations abroad, where women in the military could often be questioned by delegations from other countries. The then Trump administration supported the proposal when it was ratified.
Trump's USA Border issue
Military zone at the border – 28 migrants charged with new law
A "national defense line" has been introduced along the US-Mexico border. Now, 28 migrants who crossed it for the first time have been charged with violating security regulations and for illegally crossing the border, reports the Washington Post.
The penalty for violating security regulations is significantly higher than simply crossing the border, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that migrants could also face more criminal charges for breaking into the military zone.
The Trump administration's goal with the law is to reduce the number of migrants crossing the border and the flow of drugs. Thousands of soldiers have been sent to the zone and have the authority to arrest migrants.

The Danes' boycott is being felt by Coca-Cola
Danish consumers have begun to boycott Coca-Cola to the point that sales figures are visibly decreasing. This is stated by Carlsberg, which handles the Danish sales of Coca-Cola, to the Financial Times.
“There is a level of boycott of American brands [...] and this is the only market where we see this to a large extent,” says CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen.
Donald Trump’s repeated threats to take Greenland have angered many Danes, as have his vice president JD Vance’s words that Denmark is not “a good ally” despite Danish soldiers having fought and died alongside the US in Afghanistan and other countries.
