US President Donald Trump said he will not let Pentagon shut down the independent military newspaper Stars and Stripes.
The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to @starsandstripes magazine under my watch. It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!

The US Department of Defense ordered the newspaper to cease publication by September 30. The disbandment of the media was supposed to be by the end of January next year.
