The President of the United States, Donald Trump, assured this Thursday that he was unaware of an advertising campaign valued at 220 million dollars promoted by the Department of Homeland Security of the United States, in which the then secretary of the institution, Kristi Noem, appeared.
According to what he stated, he never authorized said initiative, despite the former official having indicated before Congress that she had his approval.

According to information released by US media, the president expressed his disagreement after Noem indicated during a legislative appearance that the campaign had been endorsed by him. This situation would have influenced the subsequent decision to remove her from the position.
Republican Senator John Kennedy explained in a television interview that he spoke with Trump about the case and commented that they both have different versions of what happened. After the dismissal, announced by Trump himself on the social network Truth Social, the president informed that he will propose Senator
Markwayne Mullin to head the entity.
The controversy centers on the high cost of the advertising campaign, which included ads starring Noem, leading to questions from lawmakers regarding the use of public resources and the process by which the project was approved.
