Trump news at a glance: military to immediately remove trans troops and use medical records to oust more

Trans troops ousted

“No More Trans @ DoD,” Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, posted after the supreme court allowed the Trump administration’s ousting of transgender troops to go forward. As of Thursday, the orders have been issued to identify and involuntarily force trans people out of service.

Department officials have said it is difficult to determine exactly how many transgender service members there are, but medical records will show those who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, show symptoms or are being treated. Those troops would then be forced out.

Separately, Britain has become the first country to strike a trade agreement with Donald Trump since his announcement of global tariffs on what he called “liberation day”.

Here are the key stories at a glance:

US fighter jet 'lost' after falling off aircraft carrier in Red Sea, Navy says

jet falls off carrierA fighter jet has been "lost at sea" after it fell overboard from an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea while it was being towed on the hangar deck, the U.S. Navy said.

The F/A-18E Super Hornet fell off the USS Harry S. Truman April 28 as sailors towed the aircraft into the hangar bay, according to the Navy. The crew had lost control of the jet, which fell into the Red Sea along with the tow tractor.

Sailors towing the jet "took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft" before it fell, the Navy said in a statement. All personnel were accounted for; one sailor sustained a minor injury.

It was not immediately clear what may have caused crew members to lose control of the aircraft. The Navy said it has launched an investigation.

Trump's Navy Secretary Keeps Flubbing The Date Of Pearl Harbor

John PhelanA social media account for U.S. whom President Donald Trump tapped for the role despite him having zero military experience, posted the wrong date of the attack on Pearl Harbor twice late last week.

The two posts, which have since been deleted, went up Friday after Phelan ― a wealthy investor, prominent art collector and Trump campaign donor ― visited the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii, saying he was “there to honor the thousands of service members and civilians who died at Pearl Harbor on June 7, 1941.” In another post, the account referred to it as “the fateful day of June 7, 1941.”

The Japanese military’s attack on Pearl Harbor, which President Franklin Roosevelt famously referred to as “a day that will live in infamy,” happened on Dec. 7, 1941. As the impetus for the United States’ entrance into World War II, it’s remembered as a day that changed the course of world history.

Pentagon to restart gender-affirming care for transgender service members

pentagonThe Defense Department will resume providing gender-affirming care for service members, a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate transgender individuals from the U.S. military.

A Pentagon memo dated Monday and revealed Thursday states the department will restore surgical procedures and cross-sex hormone therapy to individuals, including dependents of troops, as first reported by Politico.

“Service members and all other covered beneficiaries 19 years of age or older may receive appropriate care for their diagnosis of [gender dysphoria], including mental health care and counseling and newly initiated or ongoing cross-sex hormone therapy,” according to the memo, signed by Stephen Ferrara, acting assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs. “Service members may also receive voice therapy and appropriate surgical procedures.”

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

The directive comes after two federal judges last month blocked the Pentagon’s transgender service member ban and a third temporarily blocked the military from separating two transgender Air Force members in a more limited ruling,
