General Timothy Haugh
White House fires National Security Agency chief
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has fired the head of both the National Security Agency and US Cyber Command, the CBS has reported.The removal of General Timothy Haugh comes amid what appears to be a wider purge of top security officials at the agency and at the White House.Democrats have said they are "deeply disturbed" by the move and say it jeopardizes national security.It is not clear why Gen Haugh was removed, but it comes after a meeting between President Donald Trump and far-right activist Laura Loomer on Wednesday.Ms Loomer reportedly urged Trump to fire specific employees whom she suspected lacked support for his agenda.She posted on X that Gen Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble, who US media reported was also let go, "have been disloyal to President Trump....

Pentagon watchdog to review Hegseth's use of Signal to convey Yemen strike plans
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon's acting inspector general has a review into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of the Signal messaging app to convey plans for a military strike against Houthi militants in Yemen.The review will also look at other defense officials' use of the publicly available encrypted app, which is not able to handle classified material and is not part of the Defense Department’s secure communications network.Hegseth’s use of the app came to light when a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added to a Signal text chain by national security adviser Mike Waltz.The chain included Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and others, brought together to discuss...

Canadian workers on edge as car plant hits pause over US tariffs
ONTARIO — Fear and anxiety are running high in Windsor, Ontario, after carmaker Stellantis announced it will temporarily shut down its assembly plant in the Canadian border city next week as a result of US President Donald Trump's car tariffs.Derek Gungle, who is among the 4,500 people employed at the plant, says the temporary pause in operations was "kind of expected".Still, he tells the BBC he worries about what's to come.It is a feeling that is echoed across Windsor, the heart of Canada's automobile sector and just a bridge away from the US state of Michigan. For decades, the two regions worked together across the shared US-Canada border to build some of North America's most popular cars, like the Ford F-150.Those working in Windsor's auto sector who...

Senator criticizes Pentagon officials on alleged US troop drawdown in Europe
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee has criticized Pentagon "mid-level" leadership for what he said was a misguided plan to reduce the number of US troops based in Europe."There are some who believe now is the time to reduce drastically our military footprint in Europe," Senator Roger Wicker said at a hearing with US European Command and US Africa Command military leadership."I’m troubled at those deeply misguided and dangerous views held by some mid-level bureaucrats within the Defense Department."It was not immediately clear what "mid-level bureaucrats" Wicker was talking about but he warned that "they've been working to pursue a US retreat from Europe and they've often been doing so without...

World leaders call Trump tariffs 'wrong' and 'unjustified'
LONDON — Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Australia's Anthony Albanese are among the world leaders who have come out in criticism of US President Donald Trump, after he announced far-reaching import taxes on products from across the globe.Meloni called a 20% tariff rate imposed on the European Union "wrong", while Albanese said a 10% import tax on Australia's goods was "unjustified."The US leader's announcement includes a universal 10% baseline tariff on all imports into the US from 5 April.

Tesla sales plunge after backlash against Elon Musk
SAN FRANCISCO — Tesla sales have plummeted to their lowest level in three years after a backlash against its boss Elon Musk.The electric car maker delivered almost 337,000 electric vehicles in the first three months of 2025, a 13% drop from a year ago.Tesla shares tumbled in early trading on Wednesday after the release of the low sales numbers.The cars face increasing competition from Chinese firm BYD, but experts believe Musk's controversial role in the Trump administration has had an effect too.The firm has blamed the sales drop on the transition to a new version of its most popular car.However, some analysts have pointed the finger at Musk himself."These numbers suck," early Tesla investor Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management wrote on...

US cancels visa of Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias
SAN JOSE — The former president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, says his US visa has been revoked.Arias, a Nobel laureate, said he was informed of the decision weeks after he had publicly criticized Donald Trump, comparing the behavior of the US president to that of a Roman emperor.The 84-year-old, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering an end to conflicts in Central America, said US authorities had given no explanation.Arias hinted, however, that it may be due to his rapprochement with China during the time he was president from 2006 to 2010.Speaking at a news conference in the Costa Rican capital, San José, Arias said he had "no idea" what the reason for the cancellation was.He said he had received a "terse" email "of a few lines"...

Trump official visits mega-jail holding deported Venezuelans
WASHINGTON — US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has released a social media video filmed inside a controversial mega-prison in El Salvador, thanking the country and its president for "bringing our terrorists here and incarcerating them".Secretary Noem was in the country to tour the facility, where US officials recently sent 238 Venezuelans.In a cell behind her as she spoke were dozens of bare-chested and tattooed Salvadorean members from the MS-13 and the 18th Street gangs.The trip suggests President Trump does not intend to back down from his immigration policy in the face of an injunction, upheld by an appeals court, on removing the Venezuelans from US soil under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.Secretary Noem described the prison as "one of the tools in our...
