First execution since 1961
Donald Trump makes a big choice. A former doctor of the US army dies. His name is Nidal Hasan.
Nidal Hasan does bad things in the year 2009. He shoots 13 people at a military base in Texas. He hurts more than 30 people.
A court judges him to death in the year 2013. Hasan says: The act is a holy war. He wants to stop soldiers from fighting in Afghanistan.
Death by a shooting squad
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth recommends the penalty. Trump agrees to the plan now. Nidal Hasan dies by shots.
The army kills nobody since 1961. Back then an execution happens by hanging. A shooting squad happens last in 1945.
Experts say: Hasan wants the death penalty himself. He fights not much at court. He calls no witnesses for himself.
Weapon sales and votes
Trump talks about other topics. The US sells weapons to the Emirates and Kuwait. This costs 1.4 billion dollars.
Trump praises an election in Brazil. The son of Jair Bolsonaro wins the first round there. Trump likes this win very much.
Important votes happen soon in the US. Trump promises cheaper diesel fuel to his fans. He warns against a win of his political foes.
