US President confirms confidence in Pentagon chief

Donald Trump, who holds the office of US President, has no intention of stripping Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth of his authority. This decision has been made against the backdrop of an impeachment threat. The White House leader is demonstrating support for his ally and encouraging him to actively resist attempts to remove him from office.

Personal conversation and public statements

According to CNN sources in the White House, Trump is personally fond of Hegseth. He believes the minister should actively fight against the impeachment project and potential investigations concerning his decisions at the Pentagon.

One of CNN's interlocutors said: "Only two days ago, the President was in the same room with him and told him: 'You are my best boy. You are the best I have'" ("Only two days ago, the President was in the same room with him and told him: 'You are my best boy. You are the best I have'").

Publicly, the head of state also came to the minister's defence. Responding to questions about Hegseth's future in the administration, Trump stated that he does not intend to fire him, as he believes the minister is "doing a very good job" ("doing a very good job").

Reaction to allies' criticism

Meanwhile, the American President acknowledged receiving calls from allies who expressed dissatisfaction with the Pentagon chief's work. However, he dismissed these complaints and made it clear that he intends to keep Hegseth in his position.
