🇺🇸Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz has sent dozens of National Security Council staffers responsible for Ukraine, Iran and North Korea home, suspending them from their jobs.
The Washington Post newspaper writes about this, citing sources.
The officials, known as aides or seconded staff, were told in a brief conversation on Wednesday that they should "leave the building immediately, go home and be in touch," the newspaper reported.
They were instructed to return only if asked to do so by their superiors.
The decision was so sudden that it left some officials unable to physically leave the White House complex because their badges stopped working, sources told the newspaper. As a result, Secret Service agents had to manually open the gates for those whose passes had been deactivated.
WP explains Waltz's decision by the fact that Trump's adviser decided to conduct a full review of all NSC employees regarding their position on issues such as the war in Ukraine and the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea.
Waltz's decision came after rumors emerged that he was planning to retain most of his staff, and one of Trump's aides criticized him for doing so.
The next day, Waltz posted on X that "anyone serving under President Trump at the NSC will be fully aligned with his 'America First' agenda."

🇩🇪An Afghan man in Bavaria attacked a group from a kindergarten and stabbed two people to death, Bild reports.
According to the publication, the incident took place in the German city of Aschaffenburg, in the Schöntal Park in the city center. Several people, including a group of children from a kindergarten, were injured by stabbing weapons. Initially, the police reported three adults and one child. Later, law enforcement agencies reported that two people died as a result of the attack.
According to Bild, the victims were a 41-year-old man and a 2-year-old boy. In addition, "two seriously injured people are being treated in hospital," the police said. A child may also be among the seriously injured.
According to the investigation, a man has been detained. The alleged perpetrator is a 28-year-old Afghan who, according to Bild, has previously shown signs of mental disorders. According to Spiegel, the detainee is named Enamullah O. and lives in a center for asylum seekers. The man was previously ordered to leave the country. The authorities announced this at a press conference.
The Afghan came to Germany in November 2022, but was not granted asylum. At the end of last year, he announced his voluntary departure. His asylum application was then terminated, but the Afghan remained in the country.
An eyewitness told Main-Echo that the detainee was taken away using a "chokehold." Investigators on the X platform (formerly Twitter) had previously reported that two people had been detained, but later clarified that the second person was a witness who was being questioned.
The reasons for the incident remain unclear. According to police, train traffic was temporarily suspended as the suspect attempted to escape by running along the tracks. The nine-hectare Schöntal Park was cordoned off.

🇪🇺🇷🇺❗️The European Commission must help prolong the conflict in Ukraine in order to contain Russia and prepare for war within the next five years .
This statement was made by the European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius at the annual conference of the European Defence Agency in Brussels.
🇺🇸The media reports that Trump has banned the hanging of LGBT and BLM flags on government buildings, embassies and military bases around the world.
It should be noted that the State Department's order does not directly mention these flags. It states that only the US flag, as well as some military symbols, are now permitted to be flown on government buildings.
And since under Biden it was often the practice to add other flags to them, such as LGBT and BLM, the media interpreted this as a ban on these symbols.
The Washington Free Beacon writes about this, reporting that it received a copy of this document.
Let us recall that Trump previously issued a decree that only two genders are recognized in the United States - male and female.
