About our Pete Hegseth news

Latest news on Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense and former Fox News host, covering his military service, media career, and impact on American defense strategies

Pete Hegseth, a 43-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News television host, emerged as Donald Trump's nominee for United States Secretary of Defense in November 2024. With a Bronze Star from his service in Iraq and a Harvard master's degree in public policy, Hegseth represents a significant shift in Pentagon leadership following his roles as a conservative media figure and veterans' advocacy group leader.

His nomination sparked intense debate, with supporters praising his military background and conservative credentials, while critics questioned his experience and scrutinised past controversies. During his January 2025 Senate confirmation hearings, Hegseth addressed allegations regarding his personal conduct and outlined his vision for military leadership, emphasising traditional values and opposition to what he termed "woke" policies in the armed forces. He was confirmed by the Senate in a historic vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the second such instance in US history

Beyond his political career, Hegseth's journey from Princeton University graduate to National Guard officer, serving in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan, reflects his deep connection to military service. His transition to media included hosting roles on Fox & Friends and authoring books about American values and military culture, establishing himself as a prominent conservative voice on national security issues.

Prior to his nomination, Hegseth's public service included executive positions at veterans' organisations Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, where he advocated for military support and Veterans Affairs reform. His media career at Fox News from 2014 to 2024 saw him emerge as a vocal supporter of Trump's policies and a critic of traditional military leadership approaches.

Our NewsNow feed delivers comprehensive coverage of Pete Hegseth's new role, policy positions, and their impact on American military strategy. From his views on NATO and military modernisation to his vision for the Department of Defense, stay informed about how Hegseth's confirmation could reshape American defence policy in the coming years.
