The Trump administration is not planning to send US troops to Ukraine, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday at US Africa Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. He emphasized that US President Donald Trump is counting on a "quick peace agreement" regarding Ukraine.
The US Defense Secretary further played down concerns about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) review by saying that "the Defense Department is not USAID. USAID has got a lot of problems that I talked about with the troops pursuing globalist agendas that don't have a connection to America first."
"There's plenty of places where we want the keen eye of DOGE, but we'll do it in coordination. We're not going to do things that are to the detriment of American operational or tactical capabilities" he added.
