Hegseth LIVE: ‘Some Whiplash’, Hegseth Says US Military Is Moving Beyond Biden-Era Priorities | USA
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has sharply criticized the previous Biden administration’s priorities during remarks at U.S. Southern Command. Hegseth acknowledged that countries and militaries in the region may be experiencing “some whiplash” as Washington changes its approach under the current administration. He contrasted the priorities promoted by the Biden administration with those of the current Department of War, pointing specifically to issues including gender, climate change and diversity. Hegseth also referenced a controversial phrase, “dudes in dresses,” while criticizing what he described as the previous administration’s focus. Declaring that the “Department of War is done with that nonsense,” Hegseth signaled a shift toward what the Trump administration presents as a more traditional national-security agenda. His remarks reflect the administration’s broader effort to reverse several Biden-era policies and place greater emphasis on military readiness, security and strategic priorities in the Western Hemisphere.
