Trump’s choice to head the Pentagon accused Iran of weakening America’s influence in the world
“Pete Hegst”, the host of Fox News and the choice of “Donald Trump” for the position of the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, claimed that the actions of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea show their common approach to weaken the influence of the United States in the world.
According to RCO News Agency, This article was mentioned in Hegst’s written answers to the questions of the members of the Armed Forces Affairs Committee of the US Senate.
In these answers, he claimed: “The recent actions of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea in Ukraine and other countries show their joint approach to weaken the influence of the United States and its allies around the world.”
“The transfer of technology and the sale of goods have allowed these countries to bypass or reduce the costs imposed by sanctions, increase their capacity and finance their military operations,” Hegst continued.
Pointing out that the start of a conflict by one of these countries can lead to aggression by other countries, he said: “The basic principle of our strategy is that the enemies (of America) must be separated.”
His answers were prepared for hearings of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which was devoted to examining Hegst’s nomination. Hegst is a controversial choice due to his past statements and actions, including allegations of sexual harassment, excessive drinking, and derogatory views regarding women in military roles and minorities.
Jack Reid, the senior Democrat on the committee, told Hegst in today’s Senate meeting: “Unfortunately, you do not have the personality, poise and competence required for this position.”
He added: “Unfortunately, you lack the personality, self-control, and competence necessary for this position.”
The American Democrat went on to say that the investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding Hegst’s background was “inadequate”.
