Triple U.S. executions in one day
The pace of capital punishment execution in the United States has been accelerating during President Donald Trump's era, as three American states prepare to carry out executions of three inmates on Thursday, following a temporary halt in previous years. The recent operations include executions by lethal injection, nitrogen gas, and electric chair, with the number of executions last year rising to 47, the highest since 2009. Trump called for expanding the scope of the punishment to include the most heinous crimes and reviewed new methods for implementation that include more brutal means.
