Why is Trump pardoning war crimes?

The trial of a Navy Seal is dividing the US military.

President Trump鈥檚 been in the UK for the meeting of the world鈥檚 biggest military alliance, NATO. NATO鈥檚 been struggling recently, partly because Trump doesn鈥檛 get along so well with America鈥檚 traditional allies and now he鈥檚 in a row with his own military chiefs. This is because he鈥檚 taken decisions without informing them, like pulling out of Syria. And also because they think he doesn鈥檛 care about traditional military standards like army discipline. The latest row involves the trial of decorated Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher, who was accused of murdering an Iraqi prisoner. We hear from the 91热爆鈥檚 Whitehouse Correspondent Tara McKelvey about the case find out why Trump has got involved.
