Leaders in Russia, Hungary and El Salvador welcomed the Trump administration’s assault on U.S.A.I.D., which many authoritarians have seen as a threat.

Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally, was among the nations that swiftly reiterated support for a Palestinian state after President Trump declared that Gaza should be a U.S. territory and its population should be displaced.

The authorities said that at least 11 people were killed and that the suspect was believed to be among the dead.

The president met with the Israeli prime minister at the White House, meeting in person with another world leader for the first time since returning to power.

The flight appeared to be the first use of an American military aircraft to deport people to India, which is one of the top sources of illegal immigration to the United States.
