Ministers' war chat
Mike Waltz used Gmail for government business
Members of the US National Security Council, including national security adviser Mike Waltz, have used personal Gmail accounts for official government communications. This is according to sources for the Washington Post, and documents that the newspaper has seen.
- The content of the emails can be intercepted in many places, says cybersecurity expert Eva Galperin.
This follows the scandal when Waltz invited The Atlantic's editor-in-chief to a chat on Signal - an encrypted app that is significantly more secure than Gmail - where a US attack on Yemen was planned in detail.
Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes states that Waltz did not send classified information via Gmail.
However, one of his employees has used the service for "very detailed conversations" about sensitive military positions and weapons systems in an ongoing conflict, according to emails seen by the Washington Post.

Tariffs
White House: Sticking to tariffs – the stock market will cope+
Wall Street will cope, says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt during a press conference ahead of tomorrow's tariff announcement. This is reported by Reuters.
At the press conference, she says that Donald Trump takes the market fluctuations seriously but that he stands by the tariffs. At the same time, Leavitt states that the president is open to talks and negotiations.
Her opinion is that the tariff announcements that will come tomorrow should come into effect immediately.
– It would take place today if it were not April Fools' Day.
Going forward, she is signaling that the United States will strike directly at any retaliatory tariffs.

Analysis: Trump concerned about allies' reactions to his tariff blunder
At 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Swedish time, Donald Trump will stand on the podium in the White House Rose Garden and present his cherished tariff package. The world and the markets are holding their breath.
“The world is listening breathlessly to every word he says – and that is exactly what he loves,” writes Stephen Collinson in an analysis for CNN.
Trump is set to celebrate his so-called “liberation day” with pomp and show, but the many contradictory messages so far mean that no one knows what he will actually say tomorrow – perhaps not even himself, Collinson continues.
The days when Trump would simply threaten to bring back troops from allies that have trade surpluses with the United States are over – now he wants them to pay. David E Sanger writes in the New York Times, noting:
“Trump is already showing signs of concern that his targets will gang up on him.”
Sanger points out that Trump recently posted a warning on social media, in the middle of the night, about even higher tariffs on the EU and Canada if they join forces to “hurt the United States economically.”
