Donald Trump cancels the live broadcast of the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 soldiers

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has decided to cancel the live broadcast of the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hassan, convicted of killing 13 soldiers in a shootout at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. "He will die, as planned, by firing squad, but this event will not be broadcast live," the Republican president wrote in a message published on his Truth Social account.

"I believe that broadcasting the execution live for everyone to see could have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness how the United States treats terrorists and scum like Hasan, but many very good and well-intentioned people would prefer not to see him die, either by live broadcast or by any other visual means," the president said in Truth Social.
