Washington. America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has announced another important appointment in his cabinet.
He has decided to make TV host Pete Hegseth the Defense Minister in the new government. Pete, a former soldier, will now take charge of the Pentagon in the new government. “Pete is tough, smart, and a true believer in America First,” the Trump-Vance transition team said in a statement. Under Pete’s leadership, America’s enemies will be warned – our military will be great again, and America will never retreat.’ The whole world including New Delhi was keeping an eye on this announcement. The statement said that Hegseth is a graduate of 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. For his actions on the battlefield, he has been awarded two Bronze Stars as well as a Combat Infantryman Badge. According to the transition team, Hegseth has been a host at Fox News for eight years. The transition team added, ‘Pete’s most 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 take our military back to competency, lethality, accountability and excellence. Pete also leads two veterans advocacy organizations that are leading the fight for our warriors and our great veterans. No one can fight such a difficult battle for the soldiers. “Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through Strength’ policy.” Tags: America News, Donald TrumpFIRST PUBLISHED : November 13, 2024, 19:37 IST
