The Trump administration’s push to remove transgender troops from the military has been given the green light by the Supreme Court, leading to orders being issued to identify and expel trans individuals from service. The Pentagon is set to move up to 1,000 transgender service members out of the military immediately, with a directive in place for others to self-identify within 30 days. This move follows the recent Supreme Court decision allowing the enforcement of a ban on transgender individuals in the military.

In other news, the UK and US have reached a significant trade agreement that reduces some of Donald Trump’s tariffs on cars, aluminum, and steel. This deal is hailed as a breakthrough, with the UK prime minister emphasizing its positive impact on British jobs.

Meanwhile, JD Vance, during an interview with Fox News, stated that the US would not intervene in the conflict between Pakistan and India, labeling it as “fundamentally none of our business.” Vance expressed hopes of de-escalation and averting a broader regional or nuclear conflict.
