A Pentagon inspector general review found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Defense Department policy by using the Signal messaging app on his personal phone to share sensitive details of planned U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. The report concludes that, had the information been intercepted, it could have endangered U.S. servicemembers and the mission, while noting that Hegseth had the authority to declassify the material. The findings were provided to Congress this week and a redacted version is expected to be released publicly within days.

O Secretário de Guerra, Pete Hegseth, anunciou o fim de uma política de 34 anos que designava as instalações militares dos EUA como zonas livres de armas. Em um comunicado em vídeo no dia 2 de abril de 2026, ele declarou: "Isso acaba hoje", e assinou um memorando permitindo que membros das Forças Armadas solicitem permissão para portar armas de fogo pessoais quando estiverem fora de serviço. A mudança substitui as regulamentações estaduais sobre armas de fogo e presume que tais solicitações são necessárias para proteção pessoal.
