🚨🇺🇸 Trump vows 'swift and certain justice' following attack on National Guard members near White House
President Donald Trump condemned the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., calling it “an act of terror” and “a crime against humanity.” He said the attack took place just steps from the White House and targeted members of the West Virginia National Guard.
📌 Key points from Trump’s statement:
🔹 The suspect in custody is “a foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan”
🔹 The suspect was flown in “by the Biden administration in September 2021”
🔹 The attack “underscores the single greatest national security threat” facing the US
🔹 The Biden administration “let in 20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners from all over the world”
🔹 Authorities must “reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden” and consider removing any foreign national “who does not belong here or add benefit to our country”
🔹 The attacker would “pay the steepest possible price” and face “swift and certain justice”
🔹 The Department of War has been directed to mobilize an additional 500 troops to help protect Washington, D.C.

🚫 Rubio orders US diplomats to pressure Western countries to restrict mass migration – reports
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed American diplomats in Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to press their host governments to limit most immigration, The New York Times reported. The orders were detailed in a diplomatic cable dated Nov. 21 and obtained by the newspaper.
The State Department said the goal is to build support for reforms on “migrant crime,” defend national sovereignty and “ensure the safety of local communities,” according to The NYT.
⚠️ The cable also urges vigilance over “radical Islam” among some migrant groups and mentions concerns about antisemitic and anti-Christian incidents in “migrant-heavy areas,” the outlet reported.
The report notes that the guidance aligns with broader Trump administration efforts to push allied governments to harden their borders.
