Trump cancels plan to livestream execution after global condemnation
Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported2m ago
President Donald Trump has canceled a controversial plan to livestream the upcoming execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former U.S. Army major convicted of killing 13 people in a 2009 attack at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The decision reverses a proposal initially announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to broadcast the execution by firing squad.
The proposed livestream had drawn widespread condemnation and substantial criticism both domestically and internationally, facing opposition from figures including U.S. Democrats. Although the broadcast has been shelved following the global backlash, the execution of Hasan itself is still scheduled to proceed.
