Trump considers whether Defense Secretary Hegseth should stay on
Published
According to Aftenposten, President Donald Trump has asked advisers whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should continue in the job. The question comes after the Republicans suffered a major electoral defeat.
The defeat has been described as catastrophic for Trump's party. Since the election, pressure on the government has increased, and several questions of accountability are now being raised. It is not known what advice Trump has received, and he has not publicly said what he will do.
Pete Hegseth is head of the United States Department of Defense. The USA is an important member of NATO, and Norway cooperates closely with the USA on defence and security. Therefore, changes in the American defence leadership may also be of interest to Norwegian readers.
For now, there is no confirmed decision about Hegseth's future. The story is based on information about what Trump is said to have asked about, and the situation may change quickly. It is important to follow new reports from Washington in the coming period.
