US President Trump answered questions from members of the press in the garden of the White House before his departure for New York.
Trump: "What do you think about the Houthis' attack on Riyadh Airport?" "This is not good, it is not a good thing at all. I am not happy with it." he replied.
Trump said he "personally" approved the public execution of Nidal Hasan
Trump argued that Hasan, who attacked Fort Hood Base in Texas in 2009, "fully" deserved to be executed and that this execution method was "extremely appropriate."
The US President said, "The man is completely crazy. I don't care how he dies, as long as he dies. I think the death penalty is an extremely appropriate way of death for him." he said.
Trump: "Did you personally approve the execution of Nidal Hasan, which will be broadcast live?" To the question "Did I approve? Yes, of course I approved." he replied.
Asked whether he was worried that the live broadcast of the execution in question would be used for "propaganda purposes", Trump said that they were considering this issue, but that Hasan would be executed by firing squad.
Debate that Fort Hood shooter's execution will be held "in public"
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the public could watch the execution by firing squad of American soldier Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood Base in Texas in 2009.
"We're going to make sure people can watch it. It's going to be open to the public. Because people need to understand the serious consequences of these things," Hegseth said. He used the following expressions.
The last public execution in the United States was in 1936, when Rainey Bethea, a black man convicted of raping a white woman, was hanged in Kentucky.
Hasan, a former army psychiatrist who is expected to be executed on December 3, carried out the attack at Fort Hood in Texas in November 2009, killing 13 people and injuring 32 people, and Hasan was sentenced to death by a military jury for the attack.
Trump thanked Putin for the diesel deal they made with Russia
Regarding the diesel agreement he announced between the USA and Russia, Trump said, "I think you have heard about the oil agreement with Russia. This is a very important agreement. A tremendous amount of oil is coming to our country and I would like to thank President Putin for this." he said.
Stating that a significant amount of diesel will reach the USA with this agreement and that this will reduce prices, Trump said, "We are talking about the diesel that the world needs here, so we are happy to supply diesel." he said.
In response to the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who criticized him for this agreement, the US President merely stated that "the US is a strong partner with Ukraine."
US President Trump, in his statement regarding the phone call he had with Russian President Putin yesterday, stated that the meeting was "extremely successful" and said, "An agreement was reached that Russia will immediately supply over 300 thousand tons of diesel fuel to the American and global markets, an additional 500 thousand tons during November and 1 million tons immediately afterwards." He used the expression.
Trump also noted that Russia would additionally deliver 3 million tons of diesel fuel in a short time, depending on the condition of its diesel refineries.
