Report urges Secret Service to limit protection of foreign leaders in wake of Trump assassination attempts

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses a report by the U.S. Secret Service's Office of Inspector General, which recommends changes to the agency's policies on protecting foreign leaders following assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. The report suggests that the Secret Service should limit the protection provided to foreign dignitaries, focusing instead on its primary mission of protecting the President, Vice President, and other key figures. It highlights the strain on resources and personnel when the Secret Service extends protection to foreign leaders, especially in light of recent security breaches and threats. The recommendations include stricter criteria for granting protection to foreign officials, better risk assessment, and more efficient use of personnel to ensure the safety of American leaders. The report also calls for improved coordination with other federal agencies to manage security for international visitors.
