Trump Selects Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense
Briefly

Donald Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth, a seasoned military veteran and Fox News contributor, for the position of Secretary of Defense, emphasizing a strong defense policy.
Hegseth, known for advocating a restrained military approach, argues for state-level 'Defend the Guard' Acts, which interpose restrictions on deploying National Guard units overseas without a congressional declaration of war.
His military experience, highlighted by his service in Iraq and Afghanistan and his education at Princeton and Harvard, shapes his perspectives on American military engagements.
Previously considered for the Department of Veterans Affairs during the first Trump administration, Hegseth's advocacy for veterans and national defense continues to position him as a key figure in military discussions.
