Defense secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that 20 US soldiers who took part in the 1890 massacre of hundreds of Lakota men, women and children at Wounded Knee will keep the Medals of Honor that were awarded to them.
The move is the latest in a number of contentious actions taken by the Trump administration to reinterpret US history.
