Scandal in the Trump administration, messages are published in which the American vice president says he "hates saving Europe again"

The Trump administration has found itself in a major scandal.

In fact, The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg has announced that he was part of a group on the messaging app Signal where top Trump figures were plotting an attack on the Houthis in Yemen.

On Friday, March 15, the world learned that the Americans were bombing the rebel group, and Goldberg says he knew about it a full two hours ago.


Goldberg claims that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sent him a message with detailed plans for the attack at exactly 11:44 a.m.

The message listed the targets, types of weapons, and the exact time of the attack.

The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic did not publish the technical details of the attack because, as he says, it could compromise certain people in the US military and is ultimately not in the public interest.

However, what is of public interest, he stressed, is the big mistake made by Trump's top people who mistakenly left him on the internal communications group.

Thus, among the messages could also be read the objection of the American Vice President, JD Vance, regarding the attack itself, they write. foreign media, the Telegraph reports.

He said he didn't like the idea of ​​"saving Europe again."

US Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth said earlier that the strikes, which hit multiple targets in the three days since March 15, were part of a "relentless" campaign that will continue until the Houthis end attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, a vital maritime corridor.

Goldberg points out that Vance said in the conversation that he believes the attacks are a "mistake," noting that only 3% of American trade passes through the Suez Canal, while European trade depends on this route with a weight of 40%.

"There is a real risk that the public will not understand this and will not understand why it is necessary. The strongest reason for the attack is, as the president said, to send a message," Vance wrote.

"If you think we should attack, fine. I just hate to save Europe again," he added.

He continued that he was not sure whether President Trump was aware of how inconsistent the attacks were with his current message to Europe, noting that the attacks could cause oil prices to rise.

"I'm willing to support the team's consensus and keep my doubts to myself. But there is a strong argument for a month's delay, to prepare the public, to review the state of the economy, etc.," Vance said.

Otherwise, the last message of the day came from Pete Hegseth, who simply wrote: "I agree."

The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic announced that an attack on the Houthi had taken place the next day and that Trump's people had congratulated each other within the group on the successful operation. /Telegraph/
