Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Pete Hegseth, a US veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan, will serve as the Secretary of Defense in his administration.

“I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down,” Trump said in statement.
