"Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MI) called out the Pentagon on Tuesday for an unsettling trend of pursuing policies that differ from those favored by President Donald Trump, while also criticizing the Department of Defense for not sharing information as quickly as it did during Trump's first term."
"I have noticed an unsettling trend this year. At times, Pentagon officials have pursued policies that are not in accord with President Trump's orders or seem uncoordinated within the administration."
Sen. Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the Pentagon has pursued policies that diverge from President Trump's orders and has slowed information sharing compared with Trump's first term. Committee members and staff have struggled to obtain information from the policy office and have been unable to consult meaningfully with teams handling the national defense strategy and the global posture review. Wicker called the pattern an unsettling trend that needs correction to craft the best defense policy. Wicker and Sen. Jack Reed also criticized the Pentagon for not providing details on strikes against suspected drug boats and sent letters to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requesting more information.
