Secretary of Defense Pete Hesthes, who was sworn on Saturday, issued a statement in Pentagon's top priority under President Trump.
“Under the guidance of Donald J. Trump's commander of Trump, it is a lifetime privilege to lead a warrior of the Pentagon,” Hegs said: statement To the army. “We have the highest priority on the United States and never retreat.”
Hegs has pledged to promote Trump's mission to achieve peace through three ways to restore the warrior's spirit, rebuild the army, and rebuild deterrence.
“All of these are focused on lethal, abilityism, explanatory accountability, standards, and preparations,” he wrote. “I committed my life to my fighter and its family. I know that my fellow soldiers are turning their backs on the battlefield.”
“We will serve together at a dangerous time. Our enemies are neither a rest or tolerance, and we will not do so,” said the Army's veteran. “We will side by side to satisfy the urgency of this moment.”
HEGSETH was confirmed by the Senator on Friday after vice President VANCE issued a affiliated voting. It is believed that the vice President's pense broke the tie in 2017 to confirm the former Secretary of Education Betzy Devos, and it is thought that Vice President has voted for the second time in history.
Three Republican Senate, including Lisa Marcoski (Alaska), Susan Collins (main), and Mitch McConel (Kentucky), voted for “no.” MURKOWSKI and COLLINS were expected to vote against him, but the McConnell voting was surprising.
Trump provided his candidates promptly after the voting ended.
“Congratulations to Pete Hesces. He will make a great Secretary of Defense!” Trump I wrote Friday's true social social.
Former Fox's host, Hescess, faced a difficult battle after Trump led him with the Ministry of Defense, from Trump's claiming to the past drinking problem. When his nomination was rattled earlier this week, the Democratic Party has sweared by a sister -in -law who blame him that he was physically intimidating and frequently drunk, even if he was wearing military uniforms. I revealed that I got it.
Despite the burning questions during scrutiny, hearing hearing, and the burning questions that seem to be sometimes destined to fail, Hesthes, 45, served under both Ford and George W. After Ramsfeld, it is the second youngest Pentagon Chief in history. 。
