.

Despite that the WHO has registered almost 260,000 global COVID-19 cases, the largest single-day spike since the start of the pandemic in December that left more than 600,000 people dead, President Trump defended his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and called the country’s leading infectious disease expert “alarmist” during an network appearance, repeating his claim that the latest infections readings are due to mostly extensive testing of young people who will recover “in a day or so”.

Meanwhile around the world, China’s Xinjiang province declares a “wartime situation” and Hong Kong’s leader says the situation there is “critical”, as the US, Brazil, India and South Africa recorded the biggest increase in cases, and over the pond EU leaders meet for a third day to try to finalize a pandemic recovery fund amid the worsening economic crash.

3…………> Trump New Veto: No Change Of US Military Base Confederate Related Names?

.
Despite that the Pentagon banned the Confederate flag from being used on its military bases, President Trump disagreed, claiming that it’s not racist to do so, reaffirmed his position on defending the names of American bases linked to prominent Confederate figures:

“When people proudly have their Confederate flags, they’re not talking about racism. They love their flag, it represents the south”, Trump elaborated, contradicting nationwide protests against racism in the US raised the issue of Confederate history and how many of its iconic figures are represented in modern America with statues, monuments, as well as in the names of the military and military practices:

“The flags we fly must accord with the military imperatives of good order and discipline […] Consequently, in addition to the American flag, Service members and civilian employees are authorized to display or depict representational flags that promote unity and esprit de corps”, Secretary Esper said in the memorandum, justifying the change.
Trump threatened to veto the estimated $740 billion NDAA bill,  after Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren proposed an amendment that would force the Pentagon to rename every military base that was named in honor of Confederate historical figures, vowing to protect bases like Fort Bragg and Fort Robert E. Lee from bein renamed, since both played a major role in US military operations during the Second World War.
