Washington, . America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has announced another important appointment in the upcoming cabinet. Former soldier and TV actor Pete Hegseth will be the Defense Secretary (Minister) in the new government.
The Trump-Vance transition team said in a statement, “Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. Under Pete’s leadership, America’s enemies will get this warning – our army will be great again, and America will never back down.”
The world including New Delhi was watching this announcement.
The statement said that Hegseth is a graduate from Princeton University. He also has a graduation degree from Harvard University. He is an Army combat veteran who has visited Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan. He has been awarded two Bronze Stars as well as a Combat Infantryman Badge for his actions on the battlefield.
Hegseth has been a Fox News host for eight years, according to the transition team.
“Pete’s recent book, ‘The War on Warriors,’ spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, including two weeks at number one. The book explains how we can lead our military back to competency, firepower, accountability and excellence. Pete also leads two veterans advocacy organizations that are leading the fight for our warriors and our great veterans. No one person can fight as hard for the troops as he can. Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace Through Strength’ policy,” the transition team added.
