President Donald Trump’s administration is loosening restrictions on military airstrikes by giving commanders more autonomy to make lethal decisions.

Axar.az informs that Military Times reports according to a U.S. defense official.

New rules allow high-ranking military officers to fire at targets without White House approval, as long as the targets previously received official terrorist designations.

The newly granted authority, the official said, is in part a response to the former administration’s substantial involvement in approving strikes, which military leaders felt was outsized and led to slow response times for eliminating time-sensitive targets like terrorists.
