Donald Trump defends troop deployment to Los Angeles, slams ‘incompetent' Governor and Mayor for wildfire rebuild delays
US President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to defend his decision to send federal troops to Los Angeles amid recent protests, claiming that without military intervention, the city "would be burning to the ground right now." The statement follows nights of unrest and controversy surrounding the deployment of National Guard and US Marines. Trump sharply criticised California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, accusing them of incompetence in handling both the protests including the California fires and local permitting processes. "25,000 houses burned to the ground in L.A. due to an incompetent Governor and Mayor," he wrote, suggesting that their mismanagement contributed to widespread devastation. In his post, Trump also highlighted issues with rebuilding efforts in Los Angeles, pointing to delays in city and state approvals. He argued that the federal permitting process is complete, but local authorities are "disastrously bungled up and WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE!" urging residents to pressure their leaders to act. Trump's deployment of military forces in Los Angels to quell protests against anti-ICE immigration raids has drawn sharp criticism. California officials have publicly opposed federal troop presence, calling it an overreach. Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Mass argued that his move escalates tensions rather than restores order. Meanwhile, supporters believe the intervention was necessary to prevent further destruction in the city.

"Like Cat Guarding Milk": India Criticises UN Over Pak's Anti-Terror Panel Role
New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said today that in recent years, many decisions of the United Nations have been questioned. Speaking at a public event Dehradun on dismantling Pakistan's terror infrastructure, he cited the time when Pakistan was made the Vice-Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Panel by the United Nations Security Council just after the 9/11 attack. "It is not hidden from anyone that Pakistan had sheltered the mastermind of that attack. This is kind of like making a cat guard the milk," he said. But since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power, the government has "changed the attitude and method of action" on issues related to national security. The latest and best example of this is Operation Sindoor, he said, calling it the "biggest action against terrorism in Indian history". Calling Pakistan the "Father of Terrorism" he said it has always given shelter to terrorists, given them training and many kinds of help on its soil. To eliminate the terror infrastructure, "it is also important to expose the countries that fund and shelter terrorism in the world today," he said. A large part of the financial aid Pakistan receives is spent on terrorism and the world is now waking up to this, he said. But it is necessary that the United Nations, which has "a big responsibility in the fight against terrorism" remain on the same page. "Unfortunately, in recent years, many decisions of the UN have been questioned," he added.
