The New York Times reported that Trump told Hegseth that he also had plenty of experience with 'leakers.'
This comes after the New York Times reported that Hegseth had included members of his family in chats regarding US military strikes in Yemen.
The information was shared in a Google Drive folder by General Services Administration (GSA) employees with the whole GSA workforce.
Trump’s defense chief leaked classified strike details in a private Signal group with his family, the 'New York Times' reporter.
When asked if the B-2s were meant to send a message to Iran, Hegseth said: "We'll let them decide."
Hegseth, in the first visit by a Pentagon chief to Panama in decades, said he sees the canal as key terrain that Panama would secure together with the US.
This comes after the Pentagon chief sent a memo to the Maryland school instructing it to comply with larger anti-” woke” purges.
Ahead of Pete Hegseth’s visit, the US Naval Academy took down a display honoring Jewish female grads, raising questions about his anti-DEI push.
If US officials feel comfortable sharing classified operations on apps like Signal, one must question what other security protocols are being ignored behind closed doors.
The statement made no mention of specific aircraft. However, a least four B-2 bombers have relocated to a US-British military base on an island in the Indian Ocean.
