Trump announced he will nominate Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, praising him as tough, smart, and a committed advocate for America's military and veterans.
Hegseth’s military background includes tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has received two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge, underscoring his dedication.
This nomination marks a departure from Trump’s typical staffing choices, focusing instead on appointing loyal allies, with Hegseth as the first current Fox News employee nominated.
Hegseth is known for his work promoting veterans' issues and conservative causes, as illustrated in his book, "The War on Warriors," calling for reclaiming the Pentagon.
