Americký republikánský prezident Donald Trump vyjádřil podporu ministru obrany Hegsethovi, den poté, co demokraté po volbách získali kontrolu nad oběma komorami Kongresu. Ve čtvrtek to napsala agentura Reuters, podle níž výhra demokratů odráží rozhořčení voličů nad válkou v Íránu zahájenou letos v únoru USA a také nad Izraelem. Konflikt už ve středu veřejně

Een dag nadat de Democraten de controle over het Congres hadden veroverd, neemt de druk op de Amerikaanse defensieminister Pete Hegseth toe. De reden is zijn belangrijke rol in de Iranoorlog. President Donald Trump blijft voorlopig achter zijn minister staan.

ABD Temsilciler Meclisinin Cumhuriyetçi üyesi Thomas Massie, Savunma Bakanı Pete Hegseth'in istifa etmesi halinde hakkındaki azil tasarısını yeniden sunmayacağını belirtti.

Preşedintele SUA, Donald Trump, l-a susţinut miercuri pe secretarul Apărării, Pete Hegseth, la o zi după ce democraţii au câştigat controlul asupra ambelor camere ale Congresului în alegerile de la jumătatea mandatului, care au reflectat nemulţumirea alegătorilor faţă de războiul din Iran, scrie Reuters.

Republikanere peker mot forsvarsministeren etter mellomvalget. Nå kan han bli stilt for riksrett.

Trump's remarks come as Republicans grapple with the political fallout from the eight-month war with Iran.

Președintele Trump i-a întrebat pe consilierii din anturajul său și pe cei cu care a vorbit la telefon dacă Secretarul Apărării, Pete Hegseth, ar trebui să-și păstreze funcția, în urma pierderilor catastrofale suferite de republicani marți seara în alegerile de la jumătatea mandatului, au declarat pentru CBS News mai multe surse familiarizate cu situația.

President Trump has been asking his advisers if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should remain in his job after Tuesday's losses.

Le secrétaire de la Défense est sur la sellette après la victoire des démocrates. Plusieurs d’entre eux indiquent vouloir destituer le militaire, fervent défenseur de la guerre en Iran et à l’origine de limogeages en cascade au sein des armées américaines.

The Pentagon said: ‘We are grateful no one was harmed, and the globe is being repaired.’ If only it were so simple

Președintele „comite cinci infracțiuni pasibile de destituire înainte de micul dejun”, afirmă liderii Partidului Democrat din SUA — însă se tem de un al treilea eșec în demersul de a-l destitui pe Donald Trump și ar putea să-l vizeze în schimb pe Pete Hegseth, secretarul de război, scrie The Times.

Democrats and some Republicans plan to zero in on Hegseth as they seek accountability for U.S. President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Kriitikot arvioivat, että monien keskeisten sotilasjohtajien erottaminen voi luoda vääränlaista varovaisuutta.

Alaska's governor ordered an investigation into claims that Dems recruited a spoiler candidate to confuse voters. And, Hegseth ousted an Army general as the U.S. prepares for potential attacks on Iran.

Pentagon memo: Insider trading gives US enemies key intel on military operations.

Een historische blunder in het Pentagon. Een "enorm waardevolle" wereldbol van generaal Dwight D. Eisenhower is flink beschadigd geraakt, omdat minister van Defensie Pete Hegseth het kunstobject in zijn kantoor wilde hebben. In plaats van te wachten op een gespecialiseerde verhuisfirma, besloten zijn medewerkers om het heft in eigen handen te nemen. Maar dat

The service members at Navy and Marine Corps hearings are finding ways to keep trans troops in uniform.

Legendarny globus, przy którym generał Dwight Eisenhower miał planować lądowanie wojsk alianckich w Normandii, został uszkodzony. Doszło do tego, gdy współpracownicy sekretarza obrony USA Pete'a Hegsetha próbowali przenieść historyczny eksponat do jego gabinetu - pisze "Washington Post".

Le globe, qu’Eisenhower aurait utilisé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, fait partie du décor du ministère de la Défense depuis des années et des générations de hauts responsables en ont assuré la garde, selon le Washington Post.

«Ulykker skjer», svarer Pentagon etter den uersttattelige globusen ble skadet.

The globe was especially notable because it had green pen or marker notations where Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower marked areas in Europe, three U.S. officials said.

“Falta de paciência” levou a equipa de Hegseth a não esperar por profissionais para transportar o objecto, que está a ser reparado. “Acontece”, referiu um responsável do Departamento da Defesa.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the ban applies to classified and unclassified information and includes prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi.

Die Profis brauchten ihm zu lange. Deshalb organisierte US-Verteidigungsminister Hegseth den Transport eines historischen Globus in seinen Amtssitz kurzerhand selbst. Das ging nicht gut aus.
