Trump Taps Fox News Host and Loyalists for Top White House Positions

 

President-elect Donald Trump has announced several key appointments for his upcoming administration, including the selection of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth, a decorated Army veteran and outspoken supporter of Trump, has been a prominent figure on Fox News and is known for his conservative views.

In addition to Hegseth, Trump has chosen other loyalists for top positions. Florida Congressman Michael Waltz has been named National Security Adviser, bringing his experience as a former Green Beret and counterterrorism adviser. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will serve as Secretary of Homeland Security, despite her lack of direct experience in national security.

As Trump prepares to take office, the nation watches closely to see how these new appointments will shape his administration and impact U.S. domestic and foreign policies.
