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.
In a bold rebuke of NATO dynamics, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called out European allies for falling short on defense spending. Labeling them “junior partners,” Rubio pushed for a drastic hike—up to 5% of GDP—to maintain NATO’s credibility. At his first NATO foreign ministers meeting, he reassured US commitment but demanded others pull their weight. Echoing this, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europe that US protection is no longer guaranteed unless NATO nations step up. The upcoming June summit will directly address these simmering tensions.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen. His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper. The White House is standing by Hegseth, though pressure mounts after claims a journalist was accidentally included in sensitive Signal discussions. Critics have described “a month of total chaos” at the Pentagon as investigations and accusations of character attacks continue to rock the defense leadership.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision.

Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up. Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation. The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire. Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals.

Trump has doubled down on his support for tariffs, calling them the "greatest thing" America has ever done. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump claimed that tariffs will "make the U.S. rich again" while auto companies are opening new plants due to his policies. However, he refused to rule out a potential recession when pressed in a Fox News interview. The remarks come as the U.S. imposes steep new tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports, while Beijing retaliates with fresh taxes on American agricultural goods

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.
