Donald Trump’s latest pick to head the Pentagon has raised eyebrows: Pete Hegseth, a Fox News veteran with no senior military experience, is nominated to lead the U.S. Department of Defense.
Known for his strong pro-Israel stance and vocal criticism of "woke-ness" in the military, Hegseth's nomination is sparking debate.
Can a TV host truly navigate the complexities of global military leadership, especially amid ongoing international crises?
In this video, we dive into Trump’s controversial choice, the implications for U.S. military policy, and what it means for America's relationship with Israel.
Germany won’t send troops to Ukraine without U.S involvement, AFP reports, citing a government source. The decision follows US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s refusal to deploy American troops as part of security guarantees to Kiev. Meanwhile, Poland has also dismissed the idea of sending its soldiers. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, however, signaled willingness to contribute troops post-ceasefire. Moscow warns that any unauthorized foreign military presence will be treated as a “legitimate target,” while US-Russia talks on Ukraine continue in Riyadh.

The US Army has implemented an immediate ban on transgender recruits and halted all gender transition-related procedures for service members. This follows President Donald Trump’s executive order mandating adherence to biological Sex in the military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also eliminated DEI programs, emphasizing unity over diversity. The move reverses Biden’s 2021 repeal of Trump’s earlier ban. Advocacy groups estimate 15,000 transgender individuals serve in the military, though official reports suggest the number is much lower. Trump has also ended federal support for gender transition procedures for minors

NATO Membership for Ukraine Not Possible: U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine as part of a potential peace deal with Russia, catching Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky off-guard. Speaking after a high-level call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump signaled that Kiev must accept a negotiated settlement, which could involve international peacekeeping forces but not NATO inclusion. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine’s aim to reclaim all lost territories “unrealistic.” The move has sparked concern in Kiev and among European allies, as Trump pushes for a swift resolution to the conflict.

Donald Trump declined to endorse Vice President JD Vance as his Republican successor in 2028, calling it “too early” to make that decision. In a Fox News interview, Trump praised Vance’s capabilities but insisted other strong contenders exist. Vance, once a Trump critic, has since aligned himself closely with the former president. Some conservatives say Trump’s move isn’t a snub but a challenge for Vance to prove himself. The remarks have fueled speculation over the GOP’s future leadership as the political landscape for 2028 begins to take shape.

Trump backs elections in Ukraine. Trump has backed the need for elections in Ukraine, arguing that President Zelensky is highly unpopular. He cited a “4% approval rating” for Zelensky and insisted that Ukrainians must decide their leadership. The statement came as U.S. and Russian negotiators met in Riyadh for the first time since 2022 to discuss ways to end the Ukraine conflict. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has questioned Zelensky’s legitimacy after his term expired in May 2024. Although Ukraine insists elections cannot be held during wartime, polls suggest declining confidence in Zelensky’s leadership.

A former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and fervent Trump supporter, Patel faces tough questioning from Senate Democrats over his past criticisms of the FBI and his loyalty to the President.
