Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. President Trump is vowing to crack down on legal migrants and review all Afghan immigrants admitted under the Biden administration after one of the West Virginia National Guard members shot this week not far from the White House died from her injuries. Sarah Beckstrom was 20 years old. The suspect is a 29-year-old Afghan national.
Chapter 2: What recent event prompted President Trump to review Afghan immigrants?
NPR's Brian Mann reports.
Trump announced Beckstrom's death during a conference call with military leaders.
Her parents are with her. It's just happened. She was savagely attacked. She's dead.
A second National Guard soldier remains in critical condition. Federal authorities have identified the alleged gunman as an Afghan refugee. In a social media post, Trump called for a pause on migrants from what he described as third world countries and said many foreign nationals living in the U.S. legally should be deported.
Federal officials say they've begun a reexamination of migrants' green cards, scrutinizing legal residents from Afghanistan and at least 18 other countries. Brian Mann, NPR News.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced today his controversial chief of staff has resigned as a corruption probe involving prominent officials widens. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports Zelensky has been under pressure to fire Andrei Yermak over suspicions that he was involved.
In a video posted to social media, Zelensky said Ukraine must be strong and unified as it heads into peace negotiations with the Trump administration in the coming days. For internal strength, there should be no reason to be distracted by anything other than the defense of Ukraine, he said.
Anti-corruption officials searched Yermak's house as part of their investigation into the siphoning off of $100 million from the state nuclear power agency. Yermak's experience dealing with the Trump administration will be missed, but he was becoming a liability. Russia wants Ukraine to make mistakes, said Zelensky. There will be no mistakes on our part. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Kyiv.
