The White House acknowledged that top officials discussed military plans on an unclassified chat application.

The Atlantic reported Monday that its top editor was accidentally added to a Signal chat where Trump ’s national security team plotted an attack on Houthi militants in Yemen .

Many Europeans took the screenshots as confirmation in private of what this administration has signaled in public all along.

The U.S. is “no longer a reliable” partner in Europe , a German lawmaker says.

Germany 's outgoing defense committee member says it's time for Europeans to “finally act decisively” to be able to defend themselves “in the worst case scenario”.
