Two National Guard soldiers are critically injured after being gunned down in Washington DC, less than two blocks from the White House, in what the city's mayor called a "targeted shooting".
Police said a lone suspect opened fire on the National Guard members on Wednesday afternoon, before being subdued by other National Guard nearby who had heard the gunfire.
The attack prompted the White House to briefly go into lockdown and a temporary flight stoppage at the city's main airport on the eve of Thanksgiving.
President Donald Trump, who was in Florida at the time of the attack, vowed that the attacker would "pay a very steep price". The suspect is reportedly an Afghan national.

Multiple B-52H Stratofortress bombers flew off the northern coast of South America Nov. 20, U.S. officials told Air & Space Forces Magazine, the latest show of force by U.S. bombers in the region as the Trump administration builds up its military power in the Caribbean.
The B-52s took off from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., on the lengthy, nearly daylong flight, which a U.S. official said was a “presence patrol.”
At the same time that the B-52s were operating in the region, the U.S. also dispatched Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets embarked on the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, and a U.S. Air Force RC-135 Rivet Joint signals intelligence aircraft.

President Donald Trump called a reporter a "stupid person" during an exchange on Thanksgiving.
Taking questions from the press after a call with service members, Trump was discussing the Nov. 26 shooting of two National Guard members near the White House. The suspect has been identified as an Afghan national who came to the U.S. in 2021, and Homeland Security has said it would review all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration.

Venezuela calls Trump airspace closure warning 'colonialist threat'

Venezuela has accused US President Donald Trump of making a "colonialist threat" after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.
The country's foreign ministry called Trump's comments "another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people".
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country's airspace, but Trump's online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
The US has been building its military presence in the Caribbean, which officials say is to combat drug smuggling. Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has dismissed US claims of drug trafficking as an attempt to oust him.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY".
