    Donald Trump said Friday that he won't allow the Pentagon to cut funding for the military's independent newspaper, Stars and Stripes, effectively halting Defense leaders' plan to shut the paper down this month. 'The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to @starsandstripes magazine under my watch,' Trump tweeted. 'It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!' Trump's tweet came as he fought off new accusations that he called service members killed in World War I 'losers' and 'suckers' during an event in France in 2018.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has ordered the military’s independent newspaper, Stars and Stripes, to cease publication at the end of the month, despite congressional efforts to continue funding the century-old publication. The order to halt publication by Sept. 30, and dissolve the organization by the end of January, follows the Pentagon’s move earlier this year to cut the $15.5 million in funding for the paper from the Defense Department budget. And it is a reflection of the Trump administration’s broader animosity for the media and members of the press.
