On his first day as United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth said the government will provide any necessary assistance on the Mexico border and confirmed that more military-related executive orders will be promulgated on Monday (27).
“What is necessary on the border [com o México] will be provided. Whether through state active service, title 32 or title 10, because we are reorienting ourselves – this is a change. This is not how things were done in the past, ”he said, referring to the laws governing the US Armed Forces.
“The Department of Defense will support the defense of territorial integrity of the United States of America at the southern border,” he said when asked if more troops would be sent to the region.
Executive Orders about US military
Pete Hegseth confirmed that President Donald Trump will sign executive orders in this second related to diversity, equity and inclusion programs (Dei) in the Armed Forces.
Other measures will be related to transgender military and the reintegration of military personnel who were expelled from the Armed Forces after refusing to take the covid-19 vaccine.
“Today there are more executive orders coming, which we totally support, on the removal of the Dei inside the Pentagon, the reintegration of soldiers who were expelled because of the ‘covid’ mandates,” he said.
“This is happening quickly, and as Secretary of Defense is an honor to greet intelligence as I did as a subordinate officer and now as Secretary of Defense to ensure that these orders are fulfilled quickly and quickly,” he added.
Hegseth was received by the joint chief of staff, General CQ Brown, and reporters outside the Pentagon.
Asked if he would fire Brown or other joint-staff members, Hegseth turned and patted Brown’s arm, saying, “I’m with him now, eager to work with him.”
Hegseth previously scored that Brown needed to be fired.
Shortly before entering the Pentagon, Hegseth also stated that he would guarantee that there was “responsibility for what happened in Afghanistan,” regarding the withdrawal of American soldiers in 2021, and stressed: “We support our allies.”
Last week, the Trump administration took steps to suspend US refugee program and canceled flights to refugees expected to go to the country, something experts warned that could impact thousands of Afghan Afghanistas’ Afghanistan military.
