Afghanistan

US President-elect Donald Trump chose loyalists with little experience for several key cabinet positions on Wednesday, stunning some allies and making clear that he is serious about reshaping & and in some cases testing & America'sinstitutions.Trump'schoice of congressman Matt Gaetz, 42, for US attorney general, America'stop law enforcement officer, was a surprising pick.The former attorney has never worked in the Justice Department, or as a prosecutor, and was investigated by the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations, Reuters reported.His office said in 2023 that he had been told by prosecutors he would not face criminal charges.Trump tapped Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.The former Democratic congresswoman-turned-Trump-ally has in the past spoken out against military intervention in the civil war in Syria under former President Barack Obama and implied that Russian President Vladimir Putin had valid grounds for invading Ukraine, America'sally.&I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our intelligence community, championing our constitutional rights and securing peace through strength,& Trump said in a statement.Gabbard has little direct experience with intelligence work and had not been widely expected to be tapped for the post, which oversees 18 spy agencies, Reuters reported.She was deployed in Iraq from 2004 to 2005 as a major in the Hawaii National Guard and is now a lieutenant colonel in the U.S.
Army Reserves.On Tuesday, Trump chose Pete Hegseth, a Fox News commentator and veteran, to be his secretary of defense.
Hegseth has opposed women in combat roles and questioned whether the top American general was promoted to his position because of his skin color.He also lobbied Trump during his 2017-2021 term to pardon servicemembers who allegedly committed war crimes.Sprinkled in with those personnel choices were more conventional selections.
Trump said on Wednesday he would nominate Senator Marco Rubio, who is a hardliner on China, as his new secretary of state.But on the whole, his selections signal a radical shift in the way the U.S.
government conducts its business and in the role America will play in the world over the next four years, Reuters reported.One common thread for Trump'spicks: He chose unfailingly loyal people who are unlikely to push back against his most controversial orders, analysts said.The post Trump taps loyalists with few qualifications for top jobs first appeared on Ariana News.
