President Trump has streamlined the process for the US military to carry out airstrikes and raids against terrorist targets by removing policies implemented by former President Joe Biden that limited what commanders could order without executive approval, according to a report.

President Donald Trump rolled back regulations from the Biden administration on the authorization process for military airstrikes and special operations raids. The president’s decision signaled he would pursue a more aggressive counterterrorism strategy similar to what he instituted during his first administration.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Friday that he received President Trump’s approval to repeal restrictions on military raids and airstrikes, signaling a stark shift away from regulations imposed during the previous administration.
