Trump signs order seeking to overhaul US elections
President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul elections in the United States. His executive order demands documentary proof of citizenship be added as a requirement for federal voter registration. It also requires that all ballots be received by Election Day throughout the country. Trump often claims elections are being rigged, even before the results are known, and has waged battles against certain voting methods since the 2020 election which Trump says was riddled with widespread fraud. Trump said Tuesday that more election actions would be taken in coming weeks.
Trump calls military operation text a minor 'glitch'
President Donald Trump is downplaying the texting of attack plans to a group chat that included a journalist as “the only glitch in two months” of his administration. Trump told NBC News on Tuesday it “turned out not to be a serious one.” Top national security officials including Trump’s defense secretary texted plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen to a group chat in a secure messaging app that included the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic. This was reported by the magazine Monday. The National Security Council says the text chain “appears to be authentic.” Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg says two hours after he received the details of the attack on March 15, the U.S. began launching airstrikes.

Wildfires ravage southern South Korea
Wind-driven wildfires that were among South Korea’s worst ever are ravaging the country’s southern regions, killing at least 18 people, destroying more than 200 structures and forcing 27,000 people to evacuate. Officials also said a helicopter crashed during efforts to contain wildfires in one of the areas hardest-hit by the wildfires. The Korea Forest Service said it was presumed that the aircraft was operated by one pilot with no crewmembers. An ancient Buddhist temple, houses, factories and vehicles were among the structures destroyed in the wildfires that have burned over 43 thousand acres and injured 19 people.
