**Trump’s Pentagon Requires Press to Agree Not to Disclose Sensitive Information**
Reporters face potential loss of credentials under new Pentagon rules that require prior approval before publishing sensitive military information, sparking a media outcry.
The new regulations, implemented during the Trump administration, mandate that members of the press covering the Department of Defense must agree not to disclose information deemed sensitive without explicit Pentagon approval. Failure to comply could result in the revocation of their press credentials, effectively limiting their access to military briefings and events.
This policy shift has raised concerns among journalists and media organizations, who argue that it threatens freedom of the press and impedes transparent reporting on military affairs.
In related news, US President Donald Trump recently delivered a speech during a ceremony marking the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The event took place next to a podium displaying the emblem of the Department of War.
