Kennedy pressures Diem regime. Nhu targeted by U.S. aid review
President Kennedy publicized a push against South Viet Nam's government led by Ngo Dinh Diem, aiming to force the removal of his powerful brother Ngo Dinh Nhu. If Saigon resists, the U.S. may cut aid while keeping military support. Kennedy urged reforms to win popular support and warned the war cannot be won without it.
