US EditionAmerica's allies alarmed by a leaked group chat about attack plans
- Allies of the United States view the accidental inclusion of a journalist in a group chat among top U.S. Officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, about a planned attack in Yemen as a security breach.
- This breach occurred against a backdrop of a blunt "America First" approach, where U.S. Officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have voiced complaints about "bailing out" Europe and slammed European "freeloading."
- According to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, Secretary of Defense Hegseth laid out details of the U.S. Airstrikes on the chat hours before they occurred, including discussion of timing, weapons, and targets, which former officials consider highly classified information, prompting concerns about a lack of seriousness demonstrated by the use of fist-bump emojis.
- Security expert Neil Melvin of the Royal United Services Institute called the incident 'pretty shocking,' saying high-ranking U.S. Officials displayed a complete disregard for normal security protocols, while a European diplomat described the discussion on Signal about strikes on Houthi rebels as 'scary' and 'reckless'.
- The security breach, coupled with Trump's repeatedly stated aim of taking over Greenland, desire to make Canada the 51st state, and the posting of travel warnings by U.S. Embassies in at least 17 countries, is casting doubt on intelligence sharing and joint military operations, leading nations to ramp up weapons production and create their own security structures, with some viewing the U.S. As an adversary and questioning its reliability as a partner in defending democracy.
