US President Trump cancels planned livestream of Fort Hood shooter's execution

US President Donald Trump has cancelled plans to broadcast the execution of Nidal Hasan live online. Hasan, a former US Army psychiatrist, was sentenced to death for the 2009 mass shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas.

Trump had previously voiced support for livestreaming Hasan's execution by firing squad. However, the proposal faced widespread criticism regarding the implications of broadcasting capital punishment publicly. Vice President JD Vance had also cast doubt on whether the broadcast would occur, stating he would not watch it. The decision represents a reversal of the administration's previous position.
