Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. U.S. Secret Service agents shot and killed a man entering President Trump's private club in Palm Beach, Florida, early this morning. Officials say the man breached the security perimeter of Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun. NPR's Luke Garrett reports Trump was not in Florida, but in Washington, D.C. at the time.
U.S. Secret Service said a man in his early 20s unlawfully entered the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago. Officials said the man was carrying a shotgun and a fuel can. Secret Service agents and a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confronted the man and asked him to drop his weapons. Officials said the man raised his gun in a shooting position.
Agents and officers then shot and killed him. He died at the scene. No agents or officers were injured, and officials said no Secret Service protectees were present at the shooting. Luke Garrett, NPR News.
Fourteen Arab and Muslim-majority countries are condemning a remark by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. He said Israel has a biblical right to take over land in other Middle Eastern countries. As NPR's Daniel Estrin reports.
Talk show host Tucker Carlson asked Ambassador Huckabee, who has also served as a pastor, about the Bible, in which God promises Abraham land from the Nile to the Euphrates River. and whether Israel has a right to lands in Arab countries. Huckabee said, It would be fine if they took it all.
Huckabee also said, They're not asking to go back to take all of that, but they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately.
Fourteen Arab and Muslim-majority countries, including U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, condemned Huckabee's remark and said he seemed to endorse Israeli control of lands in Arab countries and the occupied West Bank. The U.S. embassy said there was no change in U.S. policy. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
