US FCC head says controversial Trump ads do not raise concerns

The head of the US Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, stated that taxpayer-funded advertisements criticized as campaign spots for Donald Trump do not require review. He likened these ads to public service announcements, asserting they are not campaign ads. The White House defended the ads as messages encouraging patriotism without calls to action. Democratic senators have called on the Department of Homeland Security to stop funding advertisements promoting the Trump administration's recent actions.
